Subject: pain after op
Had total hip replacement in March this year and expected the pain to have gone by now but still suffering, find it hard to stand up and get a lot of pain at the bottom of my spine and buttocks the wound is also super sensitive,doctor seems to think it's fine. I have to go back to work and am worried I won'nt be able to manage, has anyone else suffered this after op.

Hi Margaret, I had total hip replacements in 2006 (right) and 2007 (left). I had some pain afterwards, but nothing like you are experiencing. I had pins and needles in my feet, along with some pain and clicking. This continued for about 2 years after my second one. I was referred for physio by my gp. It turned out out my whole posture was out. I was given exercises to do and the symptoms went. My wounds were sore for a long time afterwards. Also I don't recommend putting bio oil on them either, I tried it and it burned like hell. I hope this helps. Ruth

thanks a lot Ruth that is a great help it does get you down from time to time I try to stay positive but sometimes the halo slips. Doctor reffered me to physio months ago but I am still waiting to see them. I will have to have my left hip done but I've only got a couple of years left at work and I want to keep going if I can especially as it seems to take quite a while to get back on your feet. Keep smiling.
