8 week hurdle
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hi hippies at almost 8 weeks I really thought I'd cracked this but last 2 days lots aches and discomfort on op side .Now getting me down as walk yesterday a struggle. Can't say it's pain . As I put yesterday am struggling with driving as uncomfortable but have ordered wedge . I am otherwise active doing all normal household chores etc . Due back to work 4 weeks so panicking a bit . Still get very tired but in past have had chronic fatigue so combination.
Is it me ?

I've experienced very similar problems. I'm now 10 weeks post op, returned to work 3 weeks ago feeling good and have unfortunately been struggling since. It's clearly a reaction to going from resting and initial post op recovery to then re using the operated hip. I've tried taking things a little easier but demands of work are such that I can't sit around doing little.
I'm hoping that as the hip continues to heal the discomfort will become less. Fingers crossed! Good luck.

arghhh ... same here -
Now, I am 30 days post-op from 2nd THR ... you would think I remember right?
yesterday I went grocery shopping with my girlfriend and tried to keep up with her pace ... you know, showing her how fast I am - I also walked to another store while she was getting the car ....
well .... afterwards and today I don't only have aches and pains in operated but also unoperated side (is not completely healed after 6 months) -
even my ankles hurt -
I wanted to go to a little country store here about 400 meters away but decided that I will wait - it would be an 800 meters dash -
maybe tomorrow ....
moving on and forward, one step, one day at a time
big warm hug

I am almost 6 weeks out. Just had my follow up and doctor thinks I'm progressing well. I told him about my experiences, he said everyone's experience is unique. I am beginning to forget my cane, especially in the house. I'm also starting to sleep on my side. Unfortunately, I tire very easily. Today I went food shopping and it wore me out. My bottom feels like I took a really long bike ride or someone kicked
me in me rear end. I'm sharing because I find it helpful when I hear other hippie's experiences.
