Hi...yes, they sent me to the hospital immediately after my 2-week follow-up with my surgeon's assistant....they thought I might have one (or more) blood clots. But, at THAT time, I didn't have any of the purple/mottling color.....he just looked at the swelling & some redness & sent me straight to radiology. I had an ultra-sound, it showed nothing. I was relieved, but evidently this is 'normal' with some people? I'm SO thankful to not have the horrible pain of osteoarthritis in my hip anymore (dealt with it for so long), but it's like you 'trade' one thing just for another. If it doesn't get any worse, I'll just wait for my next appointment. Thank you so much!! (thank God I found this site, people are so helpful)

I had my surgery end of January and just recently able to almost walk normally. I never had pain in my hip but my knee pain woke me up at night for years. I had no idea that a bad hip could make your knee so painful that you wanted to cry. Just take one day at a time. I’d love to know how you feel two months from now. Hoping like myself you will feel much better.
