Anyone slowed down in recovery by psoas problems
Posted , 10 users are following.
hi,
im 6 weeks post op and recovery is being slowed by psoas issues which causes groin pain and back pain after small amount of walking. (Had a half day of pottering around the house without stick and am now on sofa in agony and back to strongest painkillers)
physio says it will have to be slow going for me.
anyone had a similar challenge?

its good to be reminded that its still early days ....
yes, i think you could be right about the back pain. my body is certainly wanting to move in ways that it hasnt done in ages.
plus, i had quite a tiled pelvis after the op (about 1 and hlf inches), which is donw to about half an inch now. so i guess that must be upsetting the soft tissues in the back area.
good advice about the diet.
for the first month i was craving red meat... i am now on two portions of fish a day 9 gone off the red for a bit!!)
how long since your ops.
glad to hear you are doing well.

I'm 6 weeks post op on Monday and I was doing really well. Now all of a sudden I have leg and groin pain and I'm back on pain killers. I was totally pain and pain killer free. I don't know what I have done. I'm so gutted x

Ian is right - 6 weeks is still early - by this time you probably do more walking, with or without sticks, maybe rest less ... Before you know it, you overdid it -
nothing wrong about that - sometimes we have to challenge ourself a little to know where we are -
Did you have your follow up appointment yet?
take care and be kind to yourself -
big warm hug

Psoas Major - from the spine down to the fibia (upper leg bone) just below the femoral head (the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint)
Psoas Minor - from the spine down to the pelvic region I think.
Difficult to see them on Wikipedia, and like most of us on here I am not medically trained, so not totally sure. Anyone with medical knowledge care to correct me please?
They get stretched and strained when your hip is dislocated which is why we have pains there after the operation.
