Stroke after hip surgery
Common Questions and Answers about Stroke after hip surgery
stroke
My mother is 70, she broke her hip and has undergone a total hip replacement surgery. 3 weeks after the surgery she suffered a dislocation of the prosthesis. Although there is no fracture and the prosthesis is in good condition, a surgeon has suggested that she needs to undergo a further surgery to modify the prosthesis. This is because, as she suffered a stroke 25 years ago, and has a residual hemiparesis on the hip replacement side, the surgeon thinks that dislocations will reoccur.
I was trying to know the statistics of any risks after general anaesthesia in patients with stroke clot history and myocardial infarction. My dad has already had the hip surgery 2 days ago, but we can notice that he can't use the walker and is unable to get out of bed for more than a few seconds because of dizziness as he claims. Would this raise any worries about confusion in stroke patients post op.
He had been having hip pain before that time. It has now been a year since surgery. He has been having hip pain again. He said he did not have it for the six months he was off work. Do you think the hip pain could be related to the cancer or is unrelated? Do you think he should have another bone scan or could it possbily be arthristis? My husband is 61 years old. He has had 3 psa tests and they have all been at undectectable levels.
My mother is 57 has rheumatoid arthritis, lupus & diabetic for over 20 years. My mother has had 2 heart attacks with 6 stints & a stroke last October. After all of her health problems she was still 100% independent until 01/29/2008 when she was having left hip pain the week prior & she thought it was her arthritis flaring up after extreme pain & unable move in the bed & walk without assistance we took her to the emergency room where her temperature was 103.

Bless your heart!! I don't know of any other Young Person that has been through as many surgeries as you have. I know that they are out there but you are the first one that I have met on MH.
You are such a brave Young Woman and I think that you are incredible, a true Role Model to many other Young People out there having to face difficult situations every day. I'm very proud to know you!! :)
I'm so glad that your Doctor's are listening and going to pursue all of this.
It was about 8 weeks after the stroke that he could walk and that was with a walker. My husbands stroke was in July 2007 and today he walks without assistance except if we're going to the mall where he has to walk a long distance. He'll get tired easily on long walks. He has made a miraculous recovery considering the type of bleed he had. My husbands left side was partially paralyzed but now he moves it just fine, although it's not as strong as before.
Please get yourself to the ER. When I developed a clot after having surgery I had no swelling or redness infact all I had was an ache in my leg. The blood test was only slightly over the recommended and the Ultrasound test was needed. They found a small clot near my ankle. If you get it sorted straight away you won't have too many issues after that.
Were you not taking low dose asprin after your ablation?
Has anyone ever heard of someone waking up after major bypass surgery completley blind? This happened to my father 12 days ago and he still cant see anything. The doctors here are stumped and the only thing they can come up with is he has ishmethic optic neaurpothy. Just wondering if anyone has had or heard of this happening and if there is anything we can do.
have you been in a car accidnet or had a slip and fall any other trauma besides the surgery.? there is no reason I can even think of for pain to radiate from hip to foot other than a neurological issue, does your toes ever get tingly or numb? any spinal pain?
I would suggest a return visit to your gyno he may need to remove some more endo tissue or scar tissue, he will likely do a diagnostic lap.
I dont think you leg to foot/feet pain is related to the hyster, please consult a neurologist.
There are many factors in determining the recovery of a stroke patient after a surgery. This includes the type of stroke, severity of symptoms, how much the body is involved, medical condition of the patient ( presence of diabetes, hypertension, heart conditions), age, over-all health and even the type of surgery done. It is best that you discuss this with his attending physicians for proper evaluation and to clear any worries. Take care and do keep us posted.
t understand where these came from as I have not been immobile and they did not show up until 2 weeks after the surgery. I was up walking 4 hours after the surgery ended. I was anemic when I left the hospital, blood down by 23%.
The hip pain is excruciating. It has been a factor ever since the surgery.
Potential injury to normal structures and infections should be ruled out after surgery. Continued pain after the surgery like nerve injury is uncommon, but can be a significant problem. The most commonly affected nerves include the sciatic nerve the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve so follow up with your orthopedician and a neurologist for a proper diagnosis.
Take a second opinion if required.
Take care!
s has not been the same since he fell and broke his hip about 4 years ago. After the surgery, which went well, he now had high blood pressure. Today, he's been in the hospital for about 4 months, does not have any appetite, is on a feeding tube because he can't eat. He went from 170 to 130 lbs and is almost six feet tall. He has no pain, yet cannot stand or walk. He has had 5 specialists and they have no idea what's wrong with him. His memory and speech is in tact.
I did not have the sling. After testing my doc felt I did not need it after the ceteocele was repaired. My surgery was 6 and 1/2 hours. I also had a vaginal/labia repair. I ended up call my urogyn last night after severe pain. She says I am having muscle spasms in my piraformas. She suggested some stretching which help allot. I she her tomorrow. My neck pain is a result of the table tilt to reverse treandelenburg position. Today is 2 weeks since my surgery and it has been rough.
The surgeon relayed that these symptoms are normal after surgery and that it is highly unlikely that he would suffer another tia or stroke due to the occlusion. As far as I know, he doesn't have any of the risk factors you listed above. He is very conscientious regarding his health and he works out regularly at the gym lifting weights and doing cardiovascular excercise.
Three pins were put in place to hold her leg together but in a matter of days one of the pins slipped out and she had to have another surgery exactly 1 week after her first surgery. She now has a pin that is sticking out of her hip (about 1/2 inch) to hold the bone in place, eventually the vet says he will remove this pin (the pin could be in place for 4 weeks depending on how she heals).
My primary dr. said he thought it was definitely caused by the 2 strokes that occurred after the surgery to remove the aneurysm. Can these tests be done in the hospital or are they strickly out patient tests? I am going to do neuro rehab this time in hospital after surgery since I did not get to do that last time.
can cataract surgery cause a stroke in the eye and if so is there anything you can do about it. Had surgery about a year ago right eye perfect. Next week went for left eye. vision was worse in it after surgery than before. Been to all different doctors noone has an answer. Will second cataract surgery on same eye do any difference.
