@lotsofpain, waiting for a hip replacement is painful. You'll notice that I expanded the title of your discussion and moved it to the Joint Replacements group. I did this so that you can get tips and suggestions from others who may have also had to manage pain while waiting for a replacement, like @plantbased2 @bradley1941 @sueinmn @peggyn @naturegirl5 and @scottjeffe

Lotsofpain, when did you have your first hip replacement done? Is it working well?

Thank you, Colleen. I appreciate your assistance! I had my first hip replacement in February of this year and am doing great with that. I had no problems and used a walker for about 4 days. Fortunately I have always done well with surgery and recovered quickly and uneventfully. I have to make due with the pain in my other hip (which is considerably worse than the first hip was) and my surgery is scheduled for February 3. So it's a long wait. I am on the cancellation list so hopefully I could have it done earlier. I did invest in a leg wrap today (goes around my waist and upper thigh). It seems to sup;port the leg-hip area and takes off the pressure. So we'll see.
