Hi Friends,
After months of great progress I'm now exactly one year post resurfacing. I've been snow skiing, biking and done a little bit of jogging. I started to notice some pain, just an ache, in my hip about a month ago. If I tried to jog I could go a mile or so before having to stop and walk, then I could alternate walking and jogging but kept running into pain. Now the hip has a mild ache and tightness, maybe 2 on a scale of 1-10, and a slight tingle. no serious pain but feels like I'm moving backward.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? Hoping I just pushed too hard somewhere along the way and haven't created any long term problems. Dr. has suggested I get an xray which I'll be doing this week.
Thanks for any advice!
Larry
Hey Larry,
You're taking the right first step with the XRay. You want to ensure for your own peace of mind that the implant is in good shape.
Once that is established, you probably have pushed a little on some muscle that hasn't quite made it back yet. I found that I still had weakness in my stabilizing muscles until my second year was done, when I started a new activity.
