I had an epidural with sedation for both of my THRs and I felt and heard nothing through both surgeries. I’m sorry you’re in so much pain hopefully you will be reassured and your surgery will go well.

Don’t worry , you won’t feel a thing and the sedation means you won’t remember anything either , the pain after the op is well controlled and you’ll be a new person after , the relief is unbelievable

O just had a hip replacement with a spinal anaesthetic with sedation. I didn't know anything from pre op until I woke up in the recovery room. It felt like I'd been having a lovely relaxing sleep.
Recovery has been so much faster and easier than my knee replacements.
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
Check out the Bonesmart forum for first person experiences and masses of practical advice.

Hi, sunfield91, I don't know much about THR, but I just wanted to wish you well for both procedures.

The wonder of Gransnet is that someone will come along soon with real life experience, who will be able to give you good advice.

I have finally got a date for my hip replacement, 23rd of November, it appears I’m having an epidural. Has anyone got any Advice or reassurance as I’m really more than a little anxious.
This is mainly around being afraid that the sedation will not be enough and I might feel something and also I don’t want to hear anything that’s going on in theatre . Does the sedation stop you hearing anything.?
After having the right hip done in six months time I will be having the left one . I have never been in as much pain for such a long time,I actually thought childbirth was the most painful thing you experience, apparently not! My medication still leaves me in pain 24 seven it’s almost unbearable but I would hate to think what it would be like without the medication.
Had we not had the pandemic I’m sure things would’ve been done much quicker it’s going on for two years now since it all started. Hope someone can help with some reassurance. Thanks
