Muscle hardness what helps
Posted , 9 users are following.
Im new to this group I’ve recently had posterior hip replacement (left). I’m 28 over all healthy besides my congenital hip dyslpasia. My muscles on my thigh are so hard and are very painful to strech. My leg is numb from the top all the way to my ankle on the front parts of my leg but the muscle hardness is unbearable it’s comes and goes with sharp pains. Can anyone give me some insight on what to do to lessen the pain? I’m on oxycodon and a muscle relaxer but it’s not cutting it. Are they any foods or herbal remides anyone has used and worked for them? Anything helps and is appreciated thank you

Mrs Riprock. First of all how long ago did you have your surgery and what does your dr say about this ? Are you going to physical therapy? The numbness doesn't sound good. With me I am 4weeks out and had a horrific swelling. As hard as it was the more I walked the better the stuffiness got I had to do lots of elevating of my leg and lots of ice . If you dont get anywhere with your ortho dr can you call your regular dr? I had a stabbing pain in my foot but the ice helped that. The
Numbness should be addressed . Do t be afraid to re call your dr. I went in to see mine twice in my first week went to er and then finically went to my regular dr before I could get my problem solved. Don't give up. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck and you aren't alone. this group is good with answers. Hope you get feeling better soon. Also ask your dr about surgical stalking .

I'd get a good sports physio, mine worked wonders on my muscles.

The one thing that really helped was deep tissue massaging. I had a few knots in my thigh, scar tissue of course and just tight muscles. I felt so much better after a couple of massages.
I just had my other THR 7 days ago and I already feel my buttocks tightening as I walk and when I sit. I don’t know if this is just the muscles doing it on their own or if it’s me tightening in order to protect myself from pain or injury.
Hope all gets better for you. You are so young.
