Hello, I am new to this post. To make a long story short my surgeon canceled my hip scope 3 days before surgery becasue he read on my med history my reg dr. had me on Tramodal for pain.
He said it was a form of a narcotic and will not do surgery for 3 more months! His thoughts were he wanted precise pain levels and Tramadol can actually magnify my pain????? I have been off this med for 3

That's terrible. My experience has been that my insurance company, Aetna, like many are evil bloodsucking theives that could care less about the well being of their clients and you'll have to fight them to the death! Who is your provider?

Glad to hear that you are doing so well! I am now 4 1/2 weeks out of surgery #3 and feel like I am healing quicker this time, but weaning off crutches has been harder than I remember.

Louisa,
I have been able to pick the baby up when I have to, but not much. It doesn't feel good that's for sure. I was told that there's really no way to know how people are going to progress because it is so different from one to another. I'm very thankful it's happening fast, but wish it could be so with everyone because I know it takes much longer for most patients.

Wow Vanessa you're racing along!! I think you're where I'm at and I'm 15?? lost track, weeks post op!! Go Girl! Are you looking after your baby ok, are you actually managing without help? How old is she and you're actually ahead of me if so, because I'm still really struggling to pick up my 25 pounder! She's not quite walking yet, bummer!
