Total hip replacement and limited systemic scleroderma

[UCTD]

I am due to have a total hip replacement in less than 2 weeks time. I have limited systemic scleroderma and am on Rituximab every 6 months. If so, was your recovery slower than normal or did you go into a flare? I take low dose prednisone and Hydroxychloroquine.

Hi UCTD

I hope your hip replacement goes well and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Had THR done 16 days ago. Home and up and about on crutches. Very swollen and sore but the arthritis pain has gone just pain around the scar and from the swelling.
