Hey there fellow hippies I'm new to this amazing site and I thought I would share my experience I had today. I'm only 8 days post op and recovery has been incredible for me, almost walking unassisted. Getting plenty of rest and finally sleeping I truly believe my recovery can be attributed to my pre op condition, activity and training. I was walking into my house today with my crutches and as I to lifted my operated leg onto the step and put crutch aided pressure on my leg I felt a sharp pain in my glute and groin almost like had my crutches not been there my leg would have given out and then 3 seconds later it felt fine and the pain was gone. Just wondering if anyone out there in our world has experienced this feeling ? I would be interested to hear opinions
8 days out and walking unassisted? You are doing really well. In regard to that sharp pain, your muscles, tendons and tissues are still recovering from major trauma. Post-op for about 2weeks if I moved wrong in bed I would get some sharp pains that I attributed to exactly what I mentioned before.
If you are sore in those areas, ice them up, if it does not go away call your doctor, it never hurts to get an x-ray if you think something is wrong, most times nothing is wrong.
By all means listen to your doctor, DO NOT PUSH IT!
BTW--- welcome to the forum.
