Hello all

I (27F) had a right THR for severe dysplasia and severe osteoarthritis (seem to have somehow unlocked a fast track on the NHS and got mine within 4 months of being told I needed one). It was on 1st May and I’m on 50% restrictions for 6 weeks which is driving me up the wall.

How did you guys get through the initial recovery? I find general advice doesn’t really apply to me considering the dysplasia and my 20mm leg length discrepancy was corrected. I hate the crutches but also cannot fathom how I’ll be able to walk without them in the future. It’s all so scary!!!

Thank you in advance lovely people ❤️

Hello all

27F had a complex primary THR on 1st May due to severe hip dysplasia and bone on bone osteo - quite impressive at my age!

I was discharged on 2nd May and have just seen there is a huge bruise around the back on the incision (on the side of my hip) - is this normal? Should I call the ward?

The last major surgery I had was a spinal fusion T2-L1 so I have no clue if there was bruising as it would have never been able to see it!

TIA lovely hippies ✌️
