Thanks Todd - My Dr Nurse emailed me, in response to the subject question, need to keep strengthening and stretching ... which I already knew. I was getting progressively tighter and tighter as my arthritis got worse. So, I guess I really need to keep stretching aggressively. Also need to lose about 25 lbs so I don't wear out my hips, ha, ha .... sigh.
After you get this hip fixed will you be able to play again? I think I'm going to avoid playing for a couple of months and focus on stretching and strengthening ... which means I'll be off the court for a week.
Hang in their, it does get better and better. I had my hips done a week apart, kind of which I had waited like you did. Funny story, on day after surgery Dr Mont came in as I had just stood for the first time. He said, everything went great, hey I can do your other hip in 2 days rather than waiting the week. I was like ... (thinking to myself) ... "are you out of your mind!
". Lucky for me, I was having my Achilles tendon fixed right after the left hip, so he had to wait the full week ... close one
Cheers - Ben
