15 weeks post LTHP...

Posted , 9 users are following.

Hi I am 15 weeks post op and am pretty good really; I didn't have any real problems and can walk without a limp for up to 6 miles. Just wondered if anyone else still has thigh pain at this stage; whenever I have been sitting for a while it is extremely painful to walk. The pain is more like an ache so not intense. Just looking for shared symptoms really!

    Hiya Howeller,

    I too think you are doing great: a bit of pain post 5 miles or so sounds normal, and is a key to rest up b4 more healing exercise. and, and folk here say, if it recurs alot do see your GP.

    Glad you are walking freely, keep the body esp shoulders relaxed as you do...

    Good luck!

    cheers

    I can still remember a few weeks after my op in 2008 when my back would get stiff after walking with theverybody waddle that all hippies have.

    I still reckon the hip is improving for 2 years and that the 2 years is a running in period.

    Good luck everybody!!!!
