You must have a very strong stomach, Chuff! What I didn't realise was that the whole operation is live!!. I'm just glad they aren't doing hips, what with all those ball bearings going on. Oh and the guy is still awake, more fool him. 😉 |

Oh and the guy is still awake, more fool him. 😉 I had total right hip replacement 7 years ago under general anaesthetic. Now having other side replaced Jan 4th and have been offered it under local. Then I watched an animation video on YouTube and watched the hacking and slashing with saws and hammers and the way the joint was dislocated to separate the femur from its pelvic socket. So it’s a general for me Chuffed. |

So it’s a general for me Chuffed. I had both done last year, straight down the general route. Had the procedure explained and the concept of having your foot tucked away behind your head while the work was carried out was enough to convince me that an epidural wasn't going to cut it, so to speak. Just need a small heel insert in the shoes for the left leg. Tidy job none the less. |

So it’s a general for me Chuffed. I used to work in an orthopaedic theatre LL. Having seen my share of Hip and Knee replacements there is no way I’d have that done under local. No fucking way. The bone sets they use are like carpentry tools and they use electric cutters and drills which even though you wouldn’t see, you will definitely hear. Obviously Spinal blocks and other types of anaesthetic have their place, but if you can tolerate a GA then that’s what I would choose. Best of luck with the op by the way. |

Yes I was up within 18 hours walking up and down the hospital corridor and up and down stairs. Once I could get up and down stairs I was out which took 3 days. I had low level physio for 6 weeks using a big elastic band to give resistance then after the 6 week review I had intensive daily exercise using hydro therapy pool, gym fitness machines to build up the muscles. Saw a physio once a week who would review progress and increase weight resistance as necessary. After 12-14 weeks I was all guns blazing , back cycling, walking and kayaking but had to wait until 6 month review with surgeon before resuming badminton. |

Only two physio visits post op on both occasions then it was left up to me to get on with the exercises. Sounds like you had the full works with the gym etc. Hope all goes well with the next one. 👍 |

I will be long gone before they get round to doing all the 4 ops. That’s really crap mate and wish you well. Are you on meds for pain etc. Go back to your GP and tell him/her you’re not sleeping because of the pain. It seems a bit of a post code lottery tbh. Down here in Devon it will be about 14 months between initial GP consultation then jumping through the hoops of 3 months of physio, assessment for further treatment, consultation with surgeon and finally a date for the op. |
