Nerve damage after hip replacement surgeries

Chris,
Thank you so much for taking time to reply with so many helpful ways to deal with this. I will go on Amazon and check out the ball. I especially like the MFR idea. I will look into that. I presume you had THR. If so, when? And how long has your thigh numbness/nerve pain been going on? My fingers still crossed it will resolve. 🙂
Happy New Year!
Kat

Good evening @mackad2024. Hi there Kat. In reply to your post today, I guess I didn't mention that my previous surgeries did not include a THR. Last year was my second TKR. Before that, I was bothered and hampered by a laminectomy during which bone was taken from my right hip and used to fuse my lumbar spine. I had one bursa in my right hip that just refused to stay healthy. So....what a mess.
In addition, I have episodes of IT-band involvement above the knee and up the thigh to the hip. If you haven't ever had that.....it is quite painful and requires attention. About a year ago, that right hip/thigh/and knee kept collapsing and I was falling frequently. The therapists at Mayo helped me learn to prevent falling as best I could and also taught me how to get up when I was down.
From there.....I learned about the ball and the MFR. So it is all in the same vicinity and creating the same medical tragedy.
Glad you are investigating MFR. It is very helpful.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
