I have severe osteoporosis. My doctor told me I can break both hips just by getting up. I pray every night that I don’t have a hip fracture.
If it happens and I need a hip replacement I’m not sure if my bones will support the replacement part. this is great advice. Thank you so much
Oh no! I trust that you are likely learning ways to prevent falls (or at least reduce your fall risk) by improving your balance and keeping strong. I hope you continue to learn and stay safe. 🙂
Great way of explaining. Thank you so much.
You're most welcome. Stay safe and independent 🙂
Congratulations!!! You will make a great dad! How long do precautions last for? I had an hip operation 2 years ago and am still in pain and still using a rollator. My foot goes sideways at night when I am sleeping!
Thank you! I appreciate that. The timing on the precautions depends on the doctor, the surgery, and if there were ever any other complications. As such, it would really be for him/her to determine. Some of my clients like to prop a pillow at their foot (if they are a back sleepers) to keep the foot pointing straight. Sometimes the ligaments get tight and the hip gets pulled outward. A local physical therapist would also be a good person to assess this and to give some direction for sure.
Thank you!
*Does this apply to Knee Surgery too* ??
I have a strap ( blue ) .
It's very similar to knee surgery. I have a video specific for knee surgery here: czcams.com/video/JO3-RgIvWKU/video.html
