@kelseyalfred: ๐Ÿฉถโœจ hip replacement recovery: days 5 & 6 ๐Ÿ’™ Iโ€™m sharing some of the things that have really helped me during recovery so far, a scary episode of intense back pain that caught me off guard, and a more emotional side of recovery that I wasnโ€™t expecting. The combination of the extreme pain in those first few days, the stress of navigating recovery, and an emotional struggle between my mom and I definitely made me feel like I had a bit of a setback. Recovery isnโ€™t just physical, the mental and emotional side can be just as challenging. That being said, I am doing a lot better than I was, and Iโ€™m continuing to take things one day at a time. Sharing the good, the hard, and everything in between because recovery isnโ€™t always a straight line. ๐Ÿค #HipReplacementRecovery #HipReplacement #AnteriorHipReplacement #RecoveryVlog #SticklerSyndrome

My hip replacement was June 9th. I think I got through it as well as I did because it was the total opposite of what I went through with my knee replacement. THAT was sheer hell. I hope things settle down for you!

Glad youโ€™re feeling better. I had that neck pain as well. Itโ€™s shooting pain. My friend told me to use my travel neck pillow and it helped tremendously.

Thank you. You are the best. I share your sentiments wholeheartedly. I am two days ahead of you, and I am still in excruciating pain. I will admit that with limited exercises, I get better. The athlete mindset influenced me to push it, but as you know, this level of pain undefeatable. Keep the updates coming. You are appreciated. I wish you well. You need to make your experience to do comedy stand-up. I don't mean to make light of your trauma, but your narrative is hilarious. Again, thank you. I feel you. We are rollin' shotgun. This is my 17th surgery and by far, it's been the most challenging. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

Mine was Wednesday- my surgery was an anterior incision- i feel so much pain in my thigh- I walk with the walker, I use the cane to lift my leg. Iโ€™ve been icing a lot as well- how much are you walking? I do get up and walk around the house and to go to the bathroom. I need a lifted seat bc my toilet is way too low. Hope youโ€™re okay!!! I feel ya sis!!! ๐Ÿ’™

Iโ€™m a month post op and I still have pain. And now I have pain referring to my back shoulders knees. I get tired randomly. My energy level is still very low. Iโ€™m moving around more and improving on my exercises but honestly I didnโ€™t expect this a month out. I thought it was going to be better. Iโ€™m just trying my best everyday. Hang in there we will get there โค๏ธ

I'll be scheduling soon for left THR surgery. Your information is very helpful in preparing and getting ready for what to expect. What anesthesia was given? I think that terrifies me the most ๐Ÿ˜Š
