Exercises
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi everyone I keep reading about the exercises everyone keep doing on this forum. I I'd the exercises from a sheet I was given from the hospital for about six weeks I am now 11 weeks and the only exercise I do is walking wondering if this is enough? I have never been to a physio session at the hospital but having said that I have no pain just stiffness if I sit too long. I feel very fortunate

I had same physio as you lol ! None, only exercises in a booklet, the standing ones I found very difficult to do as i couldn't stand on my good leg cos of what may have been referred pain I now think, from using for support for my whole body for so long. I'm glad I didn't have any extra physio as I couldn't have got there or done it.
I am 12 weeks now, back at work and walking unaided, I have a slight limp after sitting and I can't sit for too long but that is all. Like Ann I love walking and love that i can do this at the weekends. I know I can walk 2 miles, I love nature and the countryside. I'm more than happy with that and my progress, I think maybe its the same as always there's no one fix for all. I too feel blessed that I can walk again.
If you're happy and no problems its obviously working for you too, my consultant just told me to go and walk, which is what I did.

Walking is fab as is climbing stairs
And
The exercise sheets I feel give some good stuff to continue with well after six weeks....personally worth considering. The should be an after op care service at your hospital....they can get a physio to talk to you...or better yet to see you....re wot is best for you.
Good luck....are you walkinng far? My phone has an app and I get it counting 5750 steps a day as a target! I plan an hours full walk next week.
