Exercise after THR
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had a posterior THR nine months ago. I still have groin pain if I overexercise or if the exercise includes internal rotation. Is this common? Will it ever go away?

Hi Linda, i am 26 months post op, and occasionally get groin pain still if I over do it, and have leg in a position it doesn't like but it goes away pretty quickly, for you and Laurie, you are still healing, it takes up to two years for the muscles to heal and sometimes your muscles can be tight. especially the Illio tibial band that goes from pelvis right across thigh. It will get better. I go to the gym now and no problems at all.

Yes, and Yes.
Not everyone gets it (I didn't), but quite a few do.
It goes eventually, you just need to slowly build up the muscles to do the job of allowing you to walk properly again. Like most pain, it will eventually subside as you re-learn to walk with a good gait again. It seems to be caused by the previous state of our bodies walking all wonky to reduce the pain before we had our THR's.
Best wishes
Graham

I was told specifically to never make a internal rotation move because it could cause dislocation. The knee should never rotate inward across the center line. It can rotate outward just fine. Maybe your doing movements you shouldn't do?? I do leg presses, and sit to stand moves a bunch. I get a little pain , but I feel things getting better. I am 40 right side posterior august 17

Funny how different surgeons are different. Mine recommend s no internal type movements ever again , or any impact exercises. They told me they just had a pstient dislocate. She was 12 years post op. But she bent over in garden, rotated knee inward, with slight twist at waist. They said that's all it take to dislocate . That certain move
