Occupational Therapy Visit.
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi guys,
I'm 4half mths p.o.. I'm still off work, and been sent a letter to go to occupational therapy. It really makes you feel bad, as if you are lying to them. My hip is healing well. It's my foot and heel that is sore. Still swollen (most days) I had few hectic days it was my birthday so out with daughters then hubby took me out for meal (all walking) I had to sit most of yesterday, as foot had come up. I've seen doctor about it. He said it can take up to 12 mths to get back to normal😧 I wish I was feeling good enough to go bk to work. Going away on holiday next wk (Already canceled one because of my op) I will end up with mobility scooter to get about. No long walks for me. At least I'll have a pool every day for exercise.
Take care, happy healing to you all.

Good luck Brenda, As we know all heal differetly, I see some walking 4 miles a month out and think " I am a looser" but we are all different and heck I would never walk 4 miles before my hip gave out, maybe 3 on a treadmill 10 years ago or on the street 30 years ago.
Enjoy your holiday!

Hi there we have been through such a big op
my Doctor said to me your not going to get
over this in6 to 10 weeks it takes 18 month to getto how things should be.
I was worried about getting back to work in 12
weeks(I'm 9post now) but I feel we have come
such a way if I'm not ready or leg not strong
enough I shan't go back to undo all the hard
work I've done suffered to many years before op
Anyway I wish you well hugs xxx😄

Could it be a pinched nerve from your back? I had those issues even before hip surgery and I'm sure I could use another adjustment from my chiropractor but my doc says not till 6-8 weeks po.
