Hip Arthroscopy Recovery Day 3
ByI’m still doing quite well. Have not had to take pain meds since in the hospital, still just taking the Voltaren to help prevent heterotopic bone reformation.
Using one crutch inside, can go without for a few steps which surprises me and using two outside. Went out to the mall to get some groceries earlier today, must have wiped me out as I spent three hours asleep on the couch this afternoon! One cat seems to like sleeping on my hip so if I’m on my side she jumps onto it and I nearly hit the roof.
Trying to sleep on my back where possible as I woke up in the night pretty sore in my right bursa area, don’t want to cause further problems there.
Overall, still feeling positive

you are doing fabulously – Im so happy for you – Now it got me hoping for amazing results for myself in Feb – maybe just maybe a THR will be a good thing for me in an ugly disguise!!

Thanks Susie
I’m glad I can spread a little hope around for you and others who are about to go through the same thing, whether it be for the first time or a revision
