Loss of strength in my bad leg.
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all, ive started having physio on my leg and couldnt believe how weak it has become. Guess ive been protecting it and using my good one without realising?
Basically she got me to lay on my back and lift my bum off the mat using each leg. My right one did it fine but my left just started shaking.
Shes given me some exercises to strengthen it so hopefully will help.
At the moment im still going to the gym just cycling and some light exercises but im worried im going to make it worse?
My limping seems to have got alot better and the pain is quite light. Only time it gets painful is if i rotate my leg inwards or outwards...then it feels if ive been shot.
I know its going to get alot worse over time but is this normal?
Thanks Scott

I just looked at your previous post and I understand that you are actually pre-op, right ?
I had PT prior 1st surgery and was in so much pain after the exercises that I stopped - Not sure if I made it worse, it did not make me feel better -
If cycling and the light exercises feel good, just do them - when it hurts, stop !
Pretty normal that with rotations your hips will be painful - that is why you are a candidate for THR surgery ---
take care
big warm hug

I thought if the muscles are stronger it will put less pressure on the hip?
