Hey Everyone..ATL2013 here again.
I've been away recovering or trying to .Its been a challenge .
I'm having a very difficult recovery NOW AGAIN.
First a very poorly performed Hip Resurfacing Surgery ,now having trouble again after I was told I had no choice but to have a revision done to Total hip Replacement.( Surgery done in JUNE 2014).
Okay,so I've been thru this somewhat before but I'm still not sure if the second surgery has been a success.
Been back to doc and he assures x-rays saying all's fine but I dont know.
I've jus had my 3 month check up..I want to believe him ..
Continuous therapy.gaining strength but still..hip area feels so so stiff ,funny-ish...pain whilst stretching ,standing ,walking (even if just around in the house).
Can this really be normal now 14weeks have passed?
I felt so much better in the first 3 weeks after surgery then on week 4 it all went downhill.
After being able to walk a few houses up the street with absolutely "No Pain "..then to be back bed ridden again.Physiotherapy tiring me out,stress,body confused I guess from all the trauma.
Called Doc ,says to wait he sees improvement.He mentioned giving me injection for hip tendon/groin pain.
One day at physio I felt a CLICK in the hip at 11weeks.Life started back finally ,walking improved again no pain............ now 3 weeks later more pain .
Glutes pain and across the side of incision and front of hip.
I found doing Leg Lifts a nightmare but can at least do a few now even if pain arises.Stairs is a fight at the moment.Bending not hard at all (before it was ).Bicycling a breeze but after 20 mins leg feels wobbly.Elliptical is okay but wears me out(very good machine to build strength in the glutes).Definitely lets you know you've been in a workout. Doing Planks a killer..beat me up bad
Anyways I need some help here with outside views ,anyone with experience...
What makes me question the surgery is how I am feeling like I am after all this time now and why is the pain still hanging around ?
I need answers ...
What is going on ?Any suggestions?
