Well, yeah - that part is traumatized, so to speak and healing - Not sure if you watched the surgery on youtube ... if not, and yoiu are ready, please have a look (you can always turn it off when it gets too much) -
I did not realize how mmajor this surgery is and what is involved ... your body is amazing and starts repairing all the damage that was done ...
Is it painful? red? warm?
If it is on the buttock it also can be the muscle -
remember that you are still very early in your recovery ... patience, my dear -
and be kind to your self
warm hug

However I
have been sleeping on my un-opped side since about week 2 as I got no sleep on my back. To avoid the twist or crossing legs I surrounded myself in pillows for support, and wedged them between hip and ankle as well - bingo.
I still sit on a firm pillow on a dining chair etc to cushion the scar rocks which is easing day by day.

Other countries show you how to sleep on your side from day 1

Mine is on the side, not the butt, not the groin, but the side.
that must be terribly uncomfortable to feel as if you are sitting on a rock. You have my sympathies.

Otherwise recovery has been good but occasionally getting into my car it feels as if I have my mobile in my jeans pocket - I actually check each time, and it's not there. Just feels like it. At night it also feels like a rock embedded in the buttock when sleeping on operated side. I think and hope it's just muscle and/or scar tissue healing, as someone already mentioned on this forum.
Physio has been really great, I go weekly to my local hospital gym where a group of us have a session on a variety of equipment.
Yesterday decided to bath my horse as it was a lovely hot day (no, no riding yet), bending and carrying buckets of water etc. and boy, do I know about it today!!! Yep, doing too much has a price, but overall the result is amazing - we just have to be patient and let our bodies heal at their own pace.
Best wishes, keep positive,
Alison
