very depressed

It really sounds like you have over done the walking, as you were in pain I am surprised you continued to walk, normally pain says stop. I have a dog but I will not risk taking her out until I know I can walk her safely.

I was walking and progressing great until last week (week 8) when complications set in unfortunately, my dog will have to wait a few more days before it is walked again. Take it easy, rest the hip.

It takes a long time to recover from hip surgery. Almost 2 years. Don't rush it.

Maybe slow and give time to heal.

This may be frustrating, but the body will do what the body will do.

So sorry you’re experiencing this. I understand how you’re feeling! My lthr was end of February, and I usually use trekking poles when I go for a long walk. I still feel much better with that bit of support. That being said, it sounds as if you may have some sort of issue with one or more of your tendons- perhaps an inflammation. If you can get to a physical therapist, he/she might be able to advise and give you helpful stretches or exercises. I’m not a medical professional, but I hear a lot about iliopsoas problems that travel from the back, butt and down the leg. If I were in your situation, I’d definitely seek a consult. Good luck!

I had THR Oct 30, 2017 and now, I'm practically pain free.  During the first 6 weeks following my hip replacement, I had lumbar pain, groin pain, limping (especially after sitting ).  Now, I'm fine

My rehab consisted of :

1) Walking about 1 mile morning and evening

2) working on my hip flexor muscles a lot

3) climbing one flight of stairs at least 5x per day

4) stretching exercises for my lumbar (I talked to a physical therapist but found the exercises on you tube)

After a month on this regime, I noticed progress

good luck

it is possible that you did too much and didn't get the rest you needed in between. It can take time for the entire healing process including the muscles that we use when walking. I had my surgery at the beginning of January and have some issues if I overdo it. When that happens, I elevate/ice or heat to make it feel better.

With your concerns, you could contact your doctor and have it checked out. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

I understand the dog walking situation. They need the walk, but you need to take it easy. Ask someone to take them for the long walks for awhile and let your body readjust. Spend time with them without stressing out your body for now. When I had surgery and couldn't walk my dogs, my husband was on Full time Dog Walk Duty. I missed not doing that, but spent time with them with lots of cuddles, throwing toys, etc.

Even with a successful hip surgery (great x-rays, all in place, etc), the body still needs to have time to heal. It can take many more months for some people.

I had THR 2 year's ago and still experience pain after lots of different physio/ injections. I find ice helps it

Hi.  I have OA in my right hip at the moment and I suffer the same back pain and buttock pain.  My lumbar pain is on the left side and physio have told me its because I walk lopsided due to right hip having restricted movement... like I over-compensate by swinging my left leg in a bigger stride.  I wonder if that's worth you considering?

The buttock pain... mine turned out to be something called high hamstring tendinopathy.  It was caused by an old running injury which had caused the very top of my hamstring to have so much scar tissue it was rubbing and causing a bursitis.  I bought a cushion with two holes (one for each bum cheek boney bit to sit in).  This has helped a lot.
