Sharp pain in hip
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi all
I went swimming this afternoon and I put my foot against the pool as I turned to swim back and pushed off. I got a very sharp pain in my hip. I had to stop for a second and just hold onto the side while caught my breath. I carried on afterwards and did a few more lengths, with gentle turns! Since then tho my hip is aching and certain bending/twisting movements are causing a sharp pain.
I'm a little concerned as I am 13 weeks post op but have had a fantastic recovery. I haven't used any walking aids, pain relief etc since the first week and this is the first 'mishap'
I have had a very busy Xmas and new year, lots of dancing and I've walked miles lol, but felt fine after - just this today and I am a bit worried.
Any advice or words of wisdom?

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for something else but may mention it if still painful.
It's ok when I'm still, I'm being very careful when moving as the pain has made me aware of my new hip again.
It just seems to be when twisting or moving my hip in certain ways!
Probably a warning to remember it's still new, I have been very blasé about it for the last few weeks. To be honest I often forget I've had it done. I shall use this as an excuse to rest and relax with my feet up 👍🏼

Yikes .... I had something similar happen to me when I got out of the car, one leg first, leaving the other behinf instead of both at the same time ... Good Lord !!! like you said, sharp pain and even standing on it was so painful - couldn't lift or bend - felt I had to start all over -
My physical therapist checked it and i was told to take it easy for a couple of days - no driving as that would involve lifting that leg -
it got better day by day - rude reminder to still be aware and take it slow(er) - Maybe even use your cane again - no shame in it darling!
Good to hear about all the things you did though !
Big warm hug

It was a silly thing to do, I just didn't think. I shall think next time tho that's for sure. The only time I had a pain like it was on forgetting I couldn't cross my legs 3or 4 days post op! Ouch! That REALLY hurt!
Thank you for the reassurance tho, I kept thinking I couldn't have done anything really bad or I wouldn't be able to walk etc but it's nice to be able to pop in here for a little check up 😃
