Resurfacing Aussies - 10 days post Op

[david2009]

Hi All,

Well all was going swimmingly at the 8 day mark. Walking without any aids for approx. 1 - 1.5 km. However, on day 8 I bent down slightly to adjust my  compression stockings and squeezed one of the discs in my very low back. This in turn has made both my groins very painful, limiting my ability to walk. My PT says that it happened as a result of my back and pelvis trying to realign after having the resurfacing.

A little heat teatment on the low back and some gentle psoas stretching has been prescribed for the moment. I would dearly love to take a strong anti-inflammatory but will not do so until I speak with my surgeon. I feel that this has really slowed my progress as I was enjoying being able to walk distances without aids. Now back to using one crutch just to help the groins.

Otherwise, the hip has been fantastic. A little tight in the right glute when walking, but nothing to be concerned about.

I feel like I am not doing anything for my rehab at present, the only good thing is the weather is very inclement!

Will keep you all updated..............

Cheers

Dave
