    Default Another surgery.

    Three or four years ago I had a THR done, unfortunately, it hasn't provided much relief: The iliopsoas bursa swelled up. I had three shots at emptying it with no luck, fluid was more like jelly, so steroids were injected with no relief.

    Thursday I had yet another surgery, bursa removed and iliopsoas tendon released. Hopefully this will do the trick and I'll be able to walk out of sight on a dark night.

    Physio gave me a few exercises to do, but they hurt, just lifting my foot hurts. I've never been one to sit around and rest, so that's more than likely the problem. I'll have to get the wife to padlock the workshop and throw the key away.

    I wish you well and hope your recovery goes the right way.
    Don't throw the key too far.

    No need for that, I was back in the shed the next day. nearly two weeks have gone by since the op and the hip is feeling pretty good. It wasnextremely sore up until a couple of days ago, but now I can lift my leg up to abdomen level with only a little pain. So, success!
