Still experiencing pain after 1 1/2 years

Yes, I use the roller from time to time, still quite painful on the left new surgery side, but not bad. Been doing some power walking and it has been pretty non eventful, the real test will be when I try to run in October at the one year mark. But, I am a hell of a lot better, I take two liquid Advils in the morning and I am good to go. I use a compression sock over my right thigh and knee at night and that gives me some mojo as well. But, like I have said...I never walk without "thinking" about each step and making sure I don't limp, and this is on my 5yr right side.
See ya, Rolls

Rolls,
I am not sure where you are, but I see a great Physical Therapist in Wickford who specializes in Cranio Sacral Therapy- she is a godsend and I believe she has helped me through these last few years of pain. I had my followup with Dr. Marchand today and it looks like I have to have a THR and not a resurfacing. I have an allergy to the chromium and Nickel unfortunately. Her name is Kerry Ialongo Gillette and her business name is Living Essance PT on the main street through Wickford.

Thanks bjk,
I will look her up. I live on Cape Cod. Dr. Marchand gave me the good to go to start running again. And like usual, and what I expected, the right side still can't keep up, and the knee is just bearable. Yoga helps a lot, but that damn right side, the whole leg just seizes up and gets tight, doing Yoga can cause a serious cramp on the groin side. It really sucks. Keep doing IT band stretching, but it is not advancing my gains. Looks like I will have to start thinking about getting a second opinion or third opinion.
