Hi all. Well I've finally had it done and to be honest it all feels a bit weird. Not necessarily the HR, but just the whole process. My hip was never chronic, so I could get about fine etc, however, doing sport was another issue. I'd say the weirdness comes from being relatively ok one minute then bamm, crutches, morphine, chronic constipation (not good!!!!!!) a leg that won't lift off the mattress: you all know the score, but jeeez, what a journey. I can't believe I actually did it?!!
I have two questions:
First, am I being unduly paranoid re the acatabular cup? I understand this is just press fit and within time the bone in-grows into the back of the cup. However, until then what's holding that cup in place and what are the chances of it moving?
2 I've noticed that when lying on my back in bed, I get some comfort from hip flexor pain when I bend my knee. However, I have noticed that when my knee has slightly crossed the mid line I get a terrible catching pain in, what I imagine is my psoas? Really painful.
Any input from fellow hippys who've had similar thoughts, concerns or worries would be great.
Thanks
Daveyboy
