Hi I'm 9 weeks post op and feel like I'm dropping back into my week 1 90 degree panic !!
I'm active walking an hour a day and doing all household chores etc but I do get ache in my butt and upper leg . I panic I had no physio did my post op exercises but no other physio I worry I'm not doing enough ! Does anyone else's get theses aches . It's a deep ache nothing like pre op sharp pain ! Got to me tonight on my walk felt tearful again grr thought I was over all this now . See occupational health Fri re phased return to work and am starting to panic . Maybe I'm just a wuss

As you know we are at about the same stage of healing. I think I know what you mean about this ache. I was on my feet all day on Monday and was really tired by the end of the day. Went to bed early but couldn't sleep as there was a deep ache in my thigh. Took some paracetamol( first time in ages) and managed to get to sleep. Rested yesterday and thigh much better but a bit swollen. I think it's the same old story about overdoing things.
Do hope you feel better soon. Make sure occupational health know things aren't 100%yet so you have a very gentle phased return..
Very best wishes.

Sounds to me like you might be over doing it a little. You are still in early stages of healing.
If you really want to go to physio get your GP to get you an appointment with them.

Interesting you should mention bone graft. Not all are done like that. And alot don't know that you shouldn't take any anti inflammatory drugs as it stops the bone graft. I was told this at my pre op appt. I had to stop anti inflammitories a week before hand. By the sound if it i think you over did things

Have a couple of easy days and pamper yourself. I have been back at work full time for 5 weeks and I ache like crazy at the end if the day. But it is getting easier. So chin up. Take a look at yourself and see how far you have come in 9 weeks
Take care

It is one thing to talk about with your OH when you go and see them re the phased return. They may be able to recommend that you stretch/rest for a few minutes periodically, and if they write such instructions down everyone will know where you are. Additionally I was able to persuade my OH to send me for extra physio
