Youāre usually kept in the recovery room for 15 minutes immediately after the operation before being sent back to the ward. I never said you would be completely recovered from the GA (or should that be AG for you?) in that period, pal.
Iām touched by your kind regards, pal.
Np bandage , I am here in A+E in limerick for last 4 hours trying to get a little 2 yo 3-4 stitches over his eyeā¦apparently our health service now dictates we canāt stitch an under 5 in Ennis , fucking cods wallop , anyway heāll be fine but daddy is vexed, and the utter gobshites clogging up this place with fuck all wrong with them isnāt helping my humour
A bad place to be at anytime, but especially on a saturday evening.
All the best, pal.
Thinking of you x
I donāt want to come across as being pedantic but, and I checked it again, there is no way in hell that you would be recovered from a general anesthetic in 15 minutes. There is nothing āusualā about the timeline of 15 minutes. According to my sources it is a minimum stay of a half hour until you are fully recovered. You may leave after 15 minutes only in the event of a āspinalā or epidural which deadens you from a certain point in your spine downwards apparently.
Best wishes to my comrade Eddie Doran who underwent a similar procedure yesterday. The young Achill clubman was starting corner back on the All Ireland winning Mayo minor football team last year and Iām sure heāll become a key component in the DCU Freshers side when he returns to full fitness in December. Iām terribly concerned about the vast amount of young men having to undergo these joint surgeries. Obviously it was down to burnout and overtraining in my case. Getting back to Eddie, I felt his father constantly playing games on his mobile phone with the key tones and sound on lacked awareness and empathy. I hope Eddie has a more peaceful recuperation period at home.
I was told when I was getting prepared for surgery that I would be kept in the recovery room for 15 minutes afterwards but I was ultimately there for 90 minutes. Please check with your source how that ties in with your 30 minutes and get back to me before End of Part One in Up For The Final.
I can confirm I spent no more than 15 minutes in recovery following a serious knee operation by the countryās eminent orthopaedic surgeon
I slept for 8 hours between midnight and 9am, guys. Was awake for an hour between 4am and 5am with some minor pain but was able to outline why I think Kilkenny will win today elsewhere on TFK.
Iām happy enough with how Iām doing so far. As mentioned, Iām on a slow track recovery programme because of the extent of the damage. I had a right hip arthroscopy, partial acetabular labrectomy, excision of CAM impingement lesion on femoral neck and acetabular rim recession of PINCER impingement legion.
The medical jargon terms above mean that not only did I need a full hip clean-out and repairs to the torn cartilage but both the ball and socket were impinged too and had to be shaved and smoothed off. The surgeon said there were all manner of bone spurs and loose bodies growing around the ball and socket and he had to work on them first (not the usual sequence) before getting to the labral tear.
So itās a 16-week rather than 12-week recovery for me and Iāll be on crutches for the first 4 weeks rather than just 2 weeks (partial weight bearing). Iāll plot my recovery on this thread as it could be useful to some random cunt googling about whether to have a hip arthroscopy.
Week 1 exercises are very basic and light:
- Moving ankle in, out, up and down (30 seconds per hour).
- Tighten the muscles in your hole and hold for 5 seconds x10.
- Push the back of the knee into the bed and contract the quads. Hold for 5 seconds x10.
- Slide your heel out to the side as far as is comfortable. Keep toes and kneecap facing ceiling and return slowly. x10.
- Slide your heel towards your buttocks raising your knee gently. x10.
Just doing the last 4 exercises every two hours. Iāve read about people having delayed pain a couple of days after the procedure so hoping that doesnāt occur with me.
Heading for physio with Roslea, Fermanagh and Ulster stalwart James Sherry tomorrow.

are you currently residing in your dingy rented shared flat for the recovery period or have you went back to your parents house @Bartosz Bereszynskiego ?
id strongly recommend taking codiene also , if you werenāt prescrebid it then request it, itll blow the head off you and help alleviate the boredom and enable you to lie on the couch all afternoon in a blissful state of mental paralysis
Apartment for the moment but going to take up the option of recuperation in my parentsā house in the next couple of days.
Ray Moran?
My chappie is back outside with the ball and stick and when asked ( wound clearly visible ) what happened he points at a big plaster the nurse put on his leg to confuse him and says āsore legāā¦ Kids are incredibly resilient
Your not a young man pal.
I havenāt felt lightheaded and nauseous since yesterday, guys. Getting used to my crutches and progressing my exercises. Iām now doing:
- Move ankles in, out, up and down x20.
- Slide heel back towards body, raise knee and return x20.
- Slide leg over to the side as far as comfortable and back while keeping toes and knee pointing upwards x20.
- Put pillow under knee and press knee down while raising foot up as high as possible x10.
- Lie on back, raise leg to 45 degree angle and return x10.
- Turn over into good side and raise top leg as high as comfortable x20.
- Get into knee bridging position and raise hips/arse without support of hands and hold for 5 seconds x20.
- Put pillow between legs and squeeze for 5 seconds before releasing x10.
- Stand with feet hip width apart and lift leg back and up x20.
Iām doing these exercises 3 times per day. Aim is to reintroduce flexibility/movement into the hip and supporting joints/muscles before progressing onto some strength work in 2 weeks.

My only advice is to give those exercises snappy titles preferably including the names of former eastern bloc or middle eastern countries.
@carryharry, have you ever heard of significant hamstring soreness following a hip arthroscopy? Is there any proven medical link?
