Hi Everyone,
I'm 3 weeks out from a BHR, and the past 2 days I've been getting wicked shooting pains in my groin, shooting to my lower back and down the inside of my leg to the inside of my knee. I can sit or stand in certain positions and it relieves the pain. It's definitely caused me to limp more than I was. I also get some pain relief from tylenol and ultram. Everything was going great and then BAM! I got hit with this. I saw the PA at the OS office yesterday, and he assured me that it's not a problem with my hip ie., a slipped cup, infection or fracture. It almost feels like a nerve to me...almost like sciatica, but in the wrong place. Has anyone else had this? What did you do for relief? Does anyone think a chiropractor might be able to help with the pain without screwing up my hip?
The PT said it sounds like it could be irritated fascia, but didn't offer a whole lot of advice other than a stretch and to try a little heat for 10 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. She said switch to ice if the heat irritates or causes any swelling. She also said it could be a tendon...I've been doing a few stairs up and down with my new hip. Now it hurts to raise my knee...she thinks I may have overdone it and to rest for a few days and do some activity without overdoing it.
