I have read posts over and over as all of you have about how everyone recovers differently and at a different pace. I have just been a little frustrated over the last two weeks and am looking for a little advice/reassurance.
I am 38 and had my right hip resurfaced June 5th by Dr. Ball in San Diego (who was great by the way). My xrays show that the bone is starting to grow onto the cup and the placement is good.
For the last month or two I had no pain in my hip at all, just a little stiffness and a bit of an uncomfortable feel when my knee fell inward too fast. Over the last two weeks, that has started to change. Last weekend, I walked around a street fair for hours in "bad shoes" and when my hip hurt the next day I blamed it on the shoes. Then, on Saturday I walked about five miles at a pretty brisk pace at the air show. I have been walking, riding a stationary bike and doing the elliptical at the gym regularly since my surgery. I also went to physical therapy: in house for a month, followed by at the office for another month.
I am not sure whether I should worry, call the doctor, assume I got a little carried away, or what?
Thanks for listening!
