Hi,
I am glad you mentioned all the symptoms you had after your THR. I am seven weeks out from THR, and I am getting burning, tingling, stabbing and even electrical type shocks down my thigh from the surgical site. I think I was just not prepared for this by the doctor. It would have been good for surgeons to have a discussion of the types of "normal pain" to expect versus pain indicating that you should contact the doctor. When these symptoms flare up, it is hard to not think there is something very wrong with the hip replacement surgery itself. Thank you for the reminder that joint replacement is major surgery and the damage and irritation to the nerves and muscle will take time.
Y’all have truly been very informational and informative. I love this forum post as many people will blow you off and say it is normal. I pray this is just a part of healing and that the issues I am having will resolve once I have completely healed. Fingers crossed. Will definitely be back to give updates.
