Greetings and Salutations,
I started going to PT at 4 weeks post-op, and now I am 4 months post-op and the therapist believes that I have hit the wall, so to speak.
In the beginning PT was really light. Then I got restrictions lifted from my surgeon at the eight-week follow up and the exercises and stretching got more intense.
His concern is my lack of flexibility in the muscles in the revised hip. He believes the problem is scar tissue not from the surgery but from the previous years of decline.
I am ready to bolt PT, but the real problem is that I can't bend enough to tie my shoes, wash the feets (summer is coming fast), or clip my toenails, which hurts my wife much more than it hurts me.
How does one deal with the scar tissue issue??
Saludos,
