Title: Groin pain from the outset, how long for it to settle?
Post by: Slinkycarrot on October 12, 2016, 09:43:25 PM
Hi, I'm 10 days out of bilateral hip resurfacing.So far my recovery has been ok. My initial post op pain and stiffness has pretty much gone. My left hip feels really good, hardly any pain. However my right is super sore, or more the tendons around my groin running between my legs and the front are catching on every foot step and movement so it's eye wateringly painful.


As my left is so great it's hard not to worry about my right. I read lots of people with groin pain issues but just seems weird to have it so early on. I'm icing religiously.  The Physio says it's bad luck and time will just heal it. I know I'm mega early in the process but I'd be interested to know how other peoples early post op experiences compared with there overall trajectory of recovery and whether there was a correlation?  How long can initial post op groin pain last?  Should I keep walking although it's inflaming the tendons?

Thanks
