How To Heal Moderate Hip Pain?
Hello, I am 83 years old and had a total hip replacement on 22/04/2012. I still experience some moderate pain and have a trendellendburg sign which makes me limp. If my hip were to dislocate ,how would I know? Will it take a long time to eradicate my limp? David Nichols

Hello,
As you are 83 and had THR in the past and now hip is having pain, I think you need to do exercises for stabilizing the hip joint and strengthening the lower limb as a whole on both sides. The knee, hip, core plays an important role in stabilizing the hip, knee and spine.
Pain is accepted in 80+ years of age. Doing exercises to make the muscle stronger will help to reduce the pains.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most geriatric cases are taken into consideration for geriatric rehabilitation program and they respond well with the reduction in pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
