I had one September of last year. Unfortunately, part of mine died away. Apparently, that doesn't happen often. Up until that point it was looking pretty good and after the recovery of the surgery there wasn't any pain associated with it. I just had the Dorsi flap reconstruction (from the back) though and since then I have limited movement, muscle aches and spasms. Feel free to email me for specific questions.

Yes, see your doctor- he will do xrays to check out if you are getting this hump because of bone loss- (seriously, women are prone to this because of the calcium depletion).  He will give your exercises and he may right a script for a back brace- you will need to see an orthopedic surgeon for the brace.  Good luck and pull your shoulders back and sit up as straight as you can, when you can.

NOOOOOOOOOO, it will only grow back worse!!!\nBesides anything I have shaved, made me feel like a porcupine having sex for 2 weeks.\nHair is there for a reason, let it do its job!!

the surgery itself is fairly quick... just minutes\n\nas for recovery- it depends on your age and your sexual tendancies... erection can cause it to take longer to heal\n\non average look for it to take about the same as a surface scratch to heal... usually about 2 weeks (unless u are diabetic)

It depends on the presence of scar tissue once the inflammation resolves.  Ask your gynecologist.

I just had a total right metal on metal hip implant 15 days ago. I am 42 and had arthritis secondary to trauma. The surgery was done under local anesthesia via a spinal catheter. I was walking around (with a walker) in 24 hours. The pain I had post surgery was minimal and well controlled with oral agents. \nMy advise is to make sure you have family/friends to help out once you are released from the hospital. You won't be able to perform many of your usual daily activities for the first 2-3 weeks. Make sure you have books, dvds and other interests to occupy your mind. \nMake sure to follow the hip precautions from your surgeon and take you blood thinner to prevent DVTs. Walking on the new hip is the best Physical therapy! So make sure you walk!\nBest of luck!

i had a tumor removed from the inside of the wrist bone and it sounds similar to what your having done. They hollowed out the bone and used freeze dried bone chips to fill it in. The good news is the bone grew back together just like new and 12 or so years later I don't even notice it. At first it will be weak and tender but I found a few things that helped. My hands and wrist were stiff because my wrist and hand were casted for 6 weeks so I washed dishes by hand to work the muscles back up. And the scar has healed quite nicely. I don't get any phantom pains when it rains or anything like that. I think you will be just fine. I just hope you don't go stir crazy waiting for your hip to heal. Good Luck but I think you will be fine.

I  had a complete hysterectomy 4/2005 because of ovarian cancer. Depending on the method of removal-vaginally or abdominally, your scar will be different. I had abdominal surgery and a scar from above my naval to my pubis, closed with staples.  You will have to wear a sanitary pad after the operation.The staples were removed 5 to 7 days later. There will be restrictions on lifting, showering, driving, climbing stairs after surgery. The recuperation period is 4 to 6 weeks. You will feel a pulling sensation when you try to straighten up in the beginning. I was tired from the operation for a few days due to the anesthesia, I think, but there was no unusual fatigue after the recuperative period.. If you haven't gone through menopause yet, your body will be forced into it all at once and that may bring up other issues you should discuss with your GYN. I had finished menopause by 46 and was done with the hot flashes etc. It is major surgery after all, so take it easy if you need to.

no biggie! except the one that was in your butt! ok, rest and clean the ass and smack some neosporin on the cut part. also, take two advil and go to sleep tomorrow you'll hurt worse than today but keep on keepin on and it will get better. NO HOSPITAL unless the bleeding won't stop!

Depends on the age and general health of the person and what type of procedure they used to facilitate the fusion. I know a 72 year old female who had a fusion with stabilizing metal rods and they used her own bone harvested from her iliac crest. Count on a year to 16 months before you feel like your old self if this same technique was used. She also had to wear a stiff brace and received no physical therapy. It might not be so bad for a younger person.

Hmm be careful with that. Don't do anything too strenous with it or it'll get worse. Go see a doctor asap and hopefully you won't need surgery. My dad did. And I have bursitis in the knee.

You mean top or bottom? Well my sister got the top done, I think that's the most popular spot. As for getting infections, you should talk to your doctor about it or whoever pierces it. I would suggest jsut keeping it clean, and change it regularly (rust, yucky!) lol I don't know if it's possible for the barbell (sp?) to get rusty. Another thing for you to ask about! :P Happy early 16th! I just recently turned 16. You should get your license too.

Well, it could be for a number of reasons. Depending on what you had done, it could be just as bad as it was before surgery. I myself have had 4 knee surgeries, 2 on each knee. They did debridement under the kneecaps, removal of torn meniscus, and lateral releases on both. The cartilage under my kneecaps is just as bad as before, because the problem has not been fixed. The debridement was a temporary relief of the damaged cartilage, but the problem is that my knee caps are not tracking right, so there is grinding and rubbing on my leg bones. This is very painful, somedays are worse than others. Also, the scar tissue from surgery causes pain, as well as the muscles that did not recover. I went through a pain management clinic, and they say that after surgery, the problem can be fixed, but the nerves that are used to sending the pain signals become used to doing that. So this is where chronic pain comes in. About the only thing you can do for chronic pain, is learn how to manage it. I take ibuprofen when my knees act up, and I use aspercreme if they get really achy. Other than that, it's either more surgery or learn to live with it. For me, they want to do more invasive surgery that involves breaking and resetting bones with screws to line the kneecaps where they should be, but I'm still not sure if I want to do this, as it might cause more problems than I already have. Well, I hope this helps in some way. I feel your pain. Good luck.

What all kicks? , Could be arthritis ,Could be bit of tendinitis, Could be stress fracture Could be a Bursa. Could be disc problem referring pain. Could just be over use. Deep heavy squatting will put additional strain on them. Stop squatting and kicking for a month just do light stretching, break back in slow when you start again. If rest don't cure it see a physio for MRI. If physio doesn't cure it pack in. I did Karate for years it shags your hips up not worth it in the long run no matter what the spirit demands.

Think about it.  They drilled out the screws that were in your bones.  Of COURSE it's going to hurt like h*** for a few days.  I had the plates and screws taken out of my ankle a few years back.  I was much better about 4 days later.  \n\nKeep it elevated, take your pain meds when you are supposed to for the first couple of days.  If it says "every 4-6 hours" take it every four.  Once the pain gets out of control, it's much harder to get it back down again.  Trust me on this.
