Total hip replacement - What to expect for recovery

I had anterior THA on the Hana table. Never again!! Since the surgery in 4/22 I've got more back pain, tingling and pins and needles sensation in the left thigh that now goes to the toes and now have peripheral neuropathy. The surgeon admitted he either pinched the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve or damaged it but didn't completely sever it. I can't walk too far, stand too long, sit too long or the pain and tingling becomes worse. The surgeon told me it would go away after a year, symptoms continued, then told me 2 years and now doesn't have any answers. None of the physicians I've seen have any answers. I think some of the problems were caused by the Hana table. Look it up and see what a torture table it is. My back pain is worse since surgery and no spine surgeon will do surgery. What's the point to having doctors? The good thing about the anterior approach is less dislocation than the other 2 locations, but life is not good like I'm living it now. Good luck to you and ask questions.

I'm so sorry to hear about your outcomes, daisy22--that is simply terrible. I will research the Hana table and talk to my surgeon about it. Hoping that you have relief soon.
