Just back from Physio and asked about stairs - I'm 5 weeks- she said wouldn't be expecting to go up normally yet and to carry on one step at a time.
I've had bit of groin pain- think it's when I've done too much but all pain will be readjusting to different ways of walking and standing.
Good luck!
Barbara

Yes groin pain normal after walking a while but eases with rest and lessens with time.
I didn't walk with 1 foot on each step till a couple of weeks ago and I'm 11 weeks, but suddenly did it.
I do it all the time now and always have a little smile on my face when I've got to the top or bottom, I used to have a whoop at first.
I think the more you do it the easier it is and I think I was so used to going up and down with 2 feet on each step I just keep doing it. Never mind we all get there eventually.

Its a while since I had my THR's but both of them I just suddenly realised I was doing it normally. It wasnt before the 6 weeks. I know even now if I have a bit of pain in my back or leg I revert for that day to using the stairs good bad etc
