15 weeks post LTHP...

only 6 miles? Do you start limping when into mile 7?

I got that post hip resufacting aop in my good leg and have started getting it again post knee arthroscopy

The physio said it's a tight ITB which I'd always tried stretching but he said its hard to stretch and seeing as it runs from outside the knee to outside the hip I go along with that.

He's given me some stretches which seen to be working

When you've had an op like yours some of the musales are bound to have weakened and others have taken.over.

Hi Howeller -

Wow,  you seem to be doing really great !!!  

I am 5 weeks post op of 2nd L  THR and about 6 months of 1 st one -

So my recovery was not optimal as other hip became more and more painful - in my case, my thigh had a dull ache and was so tender when I touched it - \

well, if you think about it, a rod has been hammered in and it will take time to heal and get this hardware to be integrated ... sort of knitting the tissue ... 

if it gets worse or if you are really worried, please contact your surgeon ... 

big warm hug

It's the iliotibial band and apparently it's well known for tightening up when there's knee/problems.

When I went to the physio mine was tight just above the knee and on the outside but it can also be tight near the hip.

Have a Google and a stretch will come up.

Hi Howeller

I think thigh pain is quite common after any exercise, I'm 12 months post op now climbed Snowdon a couple of weeks ago, didn't get right to the top but not far off, well impressed with my effort😁 But I can say to you that it's probably only the last 2 months when my aches and pains have subsided and I feel normal again, I would constantly have aches and stiffness, not just after walking but getting of the sofa and out of bed etc , and all of a sudden these went and I would just ache after physical exercise ie cycling walking or going to the gym which I think is normal, I'm surprised how I now feel, at your stage I was probably doing what you are doing but always felt achy, hopefully you will be like me and eventually stop aching. I'm not sure of your age I'm 55 and we are not getting any younger 25 in my head😐 this is probably a contributory factor also to aches and pains, other hippies mention watching the op on YouTube and that's why we ache so much but I've never been able to watch it, I'm not squeamish where other people are concerned but don't want to see what's happened to me, anyway good luck I'm sure the aches will stop soon, keep moving and be positive

Regards

I'm so glad I found this forum when I had my TRHR in May. I'm now 6 months post op and still have aches and pains all over the place so it's such a relief to read that other people do to. You often read of some practically running  a marathon at about week three and it's quite demoralising at times. I ws very fit until I was unable to walk even a few paces without cructhes for ten months prior to the operation. Now I have just walked the downs with my dogs for an hour and will spend the afternoon gardening but like some of you have commented, getting up from a chair and getting going is still painful and niggly pains spring up all over the place which I'm told is muscles, tendons etc recovering, BUT, of course the horrible hip pain has gone so it's all bearable but reasuuring when you know you aren't the only one.
