How long since your operation?

Well done mishap the only way is up now but take it steady

Very best wishes Mishap. Of course you are feeling knocked about at the moment, but every day will be better. Be kind to yourself and accept every help that's offered. Thinking of you and a if you fancy one.

Thanks everyone.

To those of you who have had this op I would like to ask whether any of you had pain down the nerve in your shin following surgery and if so how long this lasted?

I've just worked out that your op. was less than a week ago (23rd?)
No wonder you still have some soreness. Do you take painkillers?
I don't remember the shin pain, but I did have a sort of nerve pain down the outside of my leg, off and on, for some time. My friend who has also had hip replacement said the same thing.
My doctor said it was normal - perhaps some minor nerve damage during he op. and the nerves repairing themselves. And still some inflammation after just a week. Best to ask your doctor though, or the nurse.
Try an icepack - very soothing

Hope it feels better soon Mishap. Very early days yet. Give it some time.

Things not going brilliantly just now. I seem to have some adverse response to the anticoagulant and am weak as a kitten. Just hanging on in and hoping for better times.

But surgeon said I was down to bone on bone when he got in there and lots of osteophytes (little bony growths) so it had to be done. I just hope my recovery takes a turn for the better soon.

I think it will Mishap. It's bound to take a bit longer now we're not quite so young as we were. But it will come. It's a sod about the anticoagulants though. How long do you have to take them for?

Hope you've got this sunshine. If you have, sit out and enjoy it.

Oh Mishap you have just had a big operation so of course you will feel weak. Accept any help offered and let your strength come back gradually. My wise old Mum used to say "strength comes in through the mouth" so make sure you eat too!

Take it a day at a time and believe that things will get better by and by - they will you know!

Keep in touch on GN so we can all try to cheer and encourage you.
