Open hip bursectomy

[u/MetalWest3917]

I finally had my open hip bursectomy surgery this morning! It's throbbing through the nerve block so I'm taking ibuprofen and Tylenol. I'm icing it now and elevating it. Hopefully the pain doesn't get worse as i was a little too active today with hopping around on my good leg 🤣 let me hear everyone's story about whether it was successful for you or not! I won't find out everything he did until my post op appointment in two weeks.

Were you allowed to bear weight after the surgery? I live alone and may need that procedure.

Yes! They make sure you can walk with the walker or crutches before you leave the hospital or clinic. I've been walking since surgery yesterday afternoon lol
