post op hip pain - need help
Posted , 10 users are following.
i'm 3 weeks post op and have had a growing pain in the front of my hip. the pain is worst after sitting for awhile, standing and then stopping/loading my operated hip. after a step or two, the pain subsides and i can walk normally.
i've been without crutches for 2 weeks and the doc wants me to go back to crutches until the pain goes away.
i think i've irritated the deep muslces/tendons, and suspect the doc's recommendation will work, but want to get any thoughts from others who may have experienced this.
help!

it normal to have one leg linger that the other naturally. Most hips are replaced on a table that allow the surgeon to match the hip and leg length. Even the hips are X-ray on the surgery table to be sure it correct before the surgeon stitches up the incision.
its very rare that this happen and it can for many have had the same issues.
With so many safety measures set in place for this not to happen it incredible that it does. See surgery on line how tables are designed for leg length to match as best as possible.
Some patients have serious necrosis of the bone then more bone must be trimmed away to healthy bone to insure for a good press fit and no infections or sepsis.
I hope u can get this worked out. Many blessing sent UR way.
A 3 time THR.

Stick with UR doc he does want to do the right thing for you.
As just a suggestion ask for back X-rays or MRI, can tell the story too. Many issues with the back especially struggling after THR can cause many painful effects in other areas of the back and nerves.
Stay with exercises and phisio. You will get better over time trial and motivation to get better. Butt squeezes are the best build up core muscles. Get legs strong and time will help.
You have my full support. Eat properly u need 2200 calories a day after surgery to get well. Take UR meds hopping can cause you to fall and that's not a option.
Patience & perseverance ! Keep pushing doc & PSIO.
((( hugs )))
kind regards
