Pre OP Hip Replacement
Pre OP Hip Replacement
by LA MARINA LADY » Sun Aug 12, 2018 10:29 am
I am sure they wouldn't put a dog through this, cant have the op till I've lost more weight, one stone down, but more to go.
Any tips from anyone would be gratefully received, keep telling myself this is only temporary and try to smile a lot. Thanks for reading this.

Your legs should be level with, or above your heart for 6-8 hours per night to allow the fluids that gravitate to your legs to be redistributed around your body. Sleeping with your heart higher than your legs will result in swollen ankles and can also result in fluid on the lungs, leading to pneumonia. Diuretics aren’t the answer to swollen ankles, sleeping in a proper position is.
Have you tried sleeping in the bed with pillows or some other type of support under your lower legs, possibly with lateral support to prevent your hip from rotating into an uncomfortable position?
Do you have a summer frame to help you get around the house?
Pete.

Are you able to get into a pool at all ?
Are you needing advice just about the pain or weight loss too or is that under control

I think that this would be more comfortable than trying to sleep in an armchair.

Be kind to yourself. I had crutches, a toilet lifter (helped immensely), I used a pillow between my knees in bed each night. I was on fentalyn patches, lyrica, tramador and paracetamol and sleeping tablets. I now take pain relief only if I’m doing something very strenuous.
Show the specialist that you are trying with losing weight and tell him how much pain you are in. Has he referred you tothe pain clinic? I had two strong injections into my back which helped a little. Good luck, I hope that things work out well for you and that you are soon walking about pain free.
