Long Time
I guess nothing has really changed. I am still in so much pain and still have 3 weeks before I see the new doctor. My appointment is on Nov. 24th and I am counting the days. A question was asked how am I doing with the colder weather setting in. I can honestly say that I am not fond of the damp cold weather as it makes matter much worse. I use my heating pads daily and soak a lot more in the tub or hot tub. The cold sets in my bones so deep that it is hard to get comfortable. It was 70 today and we bought a ton of pellets for the pellet stove. I spend a lot of time downstairs with the pellet stove when the weather gets cold. I have put the car adapter in the car and am carrying a heating pad in the car for longer trips, a trick I learned last year.
I have been having a lot more right hip pain although this hip is acting differently than my left one did. With the left one I had more groin pain before the THR, the right I am having groin and back spasms. I am beginning to feel bone on bone when I walk. The left femur is spasming more and more so I hope the new doctor has some answers and we can start any procedures the beginning of the year.
If I don't post before I will post after I see the new doctor and let you all know where I go from here.
