AVN Hip UPDATE: #5 ~ New Left Hip Complete!
Posted by S.J. Owens | | Posted On Friday, October 22, 2010 at 12:36 PM
Have finally found some momentum to sit down at the computer and check emails, etc. Saw Doc this morn and all looks good; pain, swelling, & mobility is where it should be for one week after surgery. After this mornings visit with Doc, I feel much better about the future and my overall mobility as since the surgery, spirits have been at an all time low. It will be up to Physical Therapist to determine when I can return to work and resume normal day-to-day activities. I will see PT again on Monday and have that eval then; could be at work as soon as mid-week next week!! I will keep you guys posted on this.
How are your hips feeling now? I also have AVN and Im only 26,
Well, I have had my left hip replaced with a THR surgery with Dr. Richard Meyer MD out of Touro Medical here in New Orleans; he practices the minimal invasive technique and the surgery went well. You are never the same after though. My right hip is still in need of a THR as well, but we are waiting to have the next surgery. It stinks having AVN, I know how you feel. Please feel free to contact me by direct email or phone if you wish for further discussion. scoutpro36@gmail.com or 504-737-9571. Good luck!
