[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

Open to any suggestions on coping with constant pain.

My wife had a hip operation, which the doctor says is perfect!
(That is, she can move her leg properly, walk, etc.)  He also says
there is no reason she should have pain or the paralizing cramps
she gets.  (He never heard of the latter and indicated that it
wasn't possible.   Other women who have had the same operation tell
my wife they have the same problem.)

Also interested in info on how she can put on her stocking and
shoes by herself.  (See above.  In spite of the doctor telling her
that her leg movement is ok, she still can't bend enough to do the
above.)

Thanks.

    Ed
