Hip Pain

I fell in the shower back in May of 2008. I got wrist surgery done to repair the damage I did from falling in the shower. Now my hip is starting to bother me. In April of 2008, I got ankle surgery done and four weeks later, I took a shower without putting alot of weight on my right ankle and got shampoo in my eyes and had two hands on the walls; left one on the side wall and right one on the wall in back of me and as I tried to turn around, I slipped with my eyes closed because I could not see with the soap in my eyes and got really hurt. I injured my wrist and needed surgery because it never healed properly but I also hurt my hip. It bothered me a little after the fall but it is now bothering me more. Can a fall like that cause a hip injury also? Why am I feeling more of the pain now? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm sorry you fell and had surgery. I don't know if a fall like that can injure your hip, but I'm not a doctor. Did you have any injuries or arthris(?) or anything to affect your bones that can be the reason your hip hurts or got hurt? Maybe you torn or strained a ligament or muscle and it keeps getting agrivated because you use your hip when you walk. I would see my primary doctor and get an x-ray or something. Hope this helps!

You said you had ankle surgery, right? Favoring one foot can cause hip pain. It could be a pulled muscle or stretched tendon from using one foot more than another. That would also cause it not to heal properly from the fall.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
God bless you

Falls can start all sorts of thing to hurting. I think you should have your hip xrayed. You could have a hair line fractures. or arthritis or a bruised joint. or any number of other things . Pain is a wake up call . It tells us something is wrong.
Hope you get to feeling better soon and stay out of the shower. Ann

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
