Hi randyc,
First I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are glad you found this Forum. I want to let you know that there are NO Doctors on this Forum only CP - Chronic Pain - Patients that help each other with our OWN expertise and experiences that we have developed through our OWN CP Issues.
I'm sorry that you have arthritis in your hip!! I DEFINITELY know what you are going through. I had my FIRST Left Hip Implant 30 years ago. I JUST had my 3rd Left Hip Implant 4 months ago, so I DO know the pain that you are experiencing. :{
Yes, ANYTIME you can soak in a tub like that is WONDERFUL!! Unfortunately, I can't do that anymore as I can't get up and down from the tub. :{ I REALLY miss being able to do that. It brought me a LOT of relief over the years. You might ALSO try a heating pad - just be careful that you DON'T fall asleep while you are laying on it.
I HOPE that this helps you and I hope you will let us know how you are doing. :)
Best of luck...........Sherry
