    Yes, sitting and when you start to lay on your op side- then too. But it does go away with time.

    Yes, the old golf ball feeling, which seems to be in entirely the wrong place and not where I imagined my new ball and socket to be.  It's going away now.  Strengthen your muscles with the physio exercises- that seems to help.

      The 'clamshell' exercise seems to be best for this - lay on side (or as far as you can get to), heels together, and raise the upper knee in a clamshell movement.  Hold, lower, and repeat.
