Hip Replacement Update

Good morning friends, just an update my surgery is scheduled for early June. I will be having it in the hospital where I receive my MPN care. I am very relieved they will be able to do it.

I will post more about the process and experience. I have learned a lot!

Everyone take good care.

I've had a hip replacement. As Ling as your surgeon in aware and speaks to your hymotoligist you will be fine. I did end up with a blood transfusion over than that all was great

Hello Community!

I, too, am getting my right hip replaced beginning of July. Right now I am going through all the medical clearances needed. So far everything is running smoothly. My dentist wants me to have a deep cleaning due to noticed plaque under some of my gums. She feels this is important before surgery. I already had my left hip replaced in 2015 by the same surgeon and he is aware that since that time I acquired PV. I expect to be in hospital only one night should things turns out well. I am bringing my own medication(suggested) which includes Jakafi that I now take for itching. I planned the surgery so that I am a week between my injection of Besremi. My MPN specialist is on board but unfortunately I live a little from the institution and hospital she is affiliated with, though I do have a local hematologist who has hospital privileges. I also have good faith in my local hospital since this is where my last hip was done. I am on blood thinners and will stop them 48 hours before surgery. It will be very nice to not hobble around anymore. Again, this is a great forum for info and support!

Hi - I had hip replacement last October - no-one could advise me on when to stop & re-start my Hydroxy.Personally, I stopped 1 day pre-op then re-started 8 days post-op.My platelets were fine-only a slight increase, then back down to how they are genearlly with treatment- no other adverse effects! i was very pleased! Lots of luck for your op & recovery..

Glad to hear you can get the hip replacement in the same hospital where you get your MPN care. That will facilitate collaboration.

Do please let us know how you get on.
