@kelseyalfred: hip replacement journey | Day 6 recovery: unexpected ER visit after severe pain 🤍 Day 6 after my hip replacement took an unexpected turn. I ended up in the emergency room after having severe pain and symptoms that needed to be checked for more serious complications, including a possible blood clot or heart-related issue. They found that my D-dimer was elevated, which can happen after surgery, and they believe it may be related to my recent hip replacement rather than a clot. They also found a 5 mm fissural nodule in my lung that I’ll need to follow up on. My hip is definitely extra sore after everything it went through, but I’m home now and continuing to recover. This was definitely not the update I expected to share, but I want to continue documenting the real experience of this journey. #SticklerSyndrome #HipReplacementJourney #AnteriorHipApproach #DualMobilityHip #HipReplacementRecovery
Ortho RN, sounds like not likely due to the hip but maybe your upper body is responding to using muscles more and your gi system is upset from all the anesthesia and meds

Nope :
you need your gallbladder checked. It felt like I was constantly having a heart attack.

Gall stones and hip surgery I see together. I had hip surgery and then 3 months later my gall bladder was taken out. Come to find out it's not uncommon.

I am not a doctor but maybe you have tweaked / pinched a nerve or two by trying to accommodate your recovery and walking. You also might be sleeping in a funky position to keep your hip comfortable. I have no clue though but that’s all I could come up with that wasn’t bad like a blood clot. They would have looked for that though I’m sure. Good luck!

i work in physical therapy, hip replacements are one of the most fast recovery surgeries. back pain is normal BUT not excruciating. the arm pain could be the remaining of the medicines that they had given you while you were under or possible clot. most get put on blood thinners before surgery but blood clots can still happen but glad you trusted your gut and got checked out! better to be safe then sorry!
