I  am worried that 9 weeks post op new symptoms keep cropping up. Today, front of thigh has sharp pain non operated leg, low back pain, both hips hurt, pain in my butt where gluteus median is. Is it because I overdid massaging and exercise of the glute yesterday?

    The OS warned me that the other leg would start to hurt more after the surgery . Indeed-it has hurt a great deal more. Its catching and just very painful. Very frustrating. Be careful not to overdo it as you will suffer for it. Dont forget ice,elevate and what ever you take for medication

    Wierd weather this year .. a couple of days of late fall temps then full summer heat then back again. Oh well at least there is no ice or 🌨!

    My PT emphasized heel- toe walking, walking tall and trying to lengthen my stride. These, along w butt clenches really help smooth out your gait and eliminate the limp. Early on she encouraged me to continue w the walker as it helped me concentrate on these instructions - esp to lengthen my stride.

    Might be worth a try.

    Good luck.

      Thanks for those tips Linda. I will work on getting back to doing the butt clenches and the heel to toe walking. Yes, the walker is likely more effective for the balance part than than the single crutch.

      Take Care,
