Title: Pain that feels like shin splints 5 days post op
Post by: jj76751 on September 01, 2009, 09:56:51 AM

I am 5 days post op on my right hip. Pain on hip is being managed but I feel I have shin splints on the same side - is this normal? and/or has anyone else felt this? What did you do to get relief?

Thanks

Judy

My shins killed me for the first 6 weeks. I went to a massage therapist at 3 weeks and had her work on them and my shoulders - this was largely all that she could/would do since I was somewhat limited to laying on my back. That and the massage that comes with a pedicure helped a bit. They still hurt more than they did before surgery but I attirbute that to just learning how to "walk" again.
