hi tracy ... yes, normal ... I had the same around the same time and then found this wonderful forum ... I was very concerned as I didn't think it would come back  - I had hardly any groin pain in the first 2 weeks - try to keep your legs straight when laying on your back and make sure that you walk with a straight, but realxed back = I am one of those: "do as I say and not as I do " persons

I  curl up and walk unbalanced and lobsided and paying the price for it ...

have a wonderful and peaceful night

Yes. Lots of aches and pains that occur in new places and last a few days. I worked on the idea that  unless it continued for more than a few days, got worse I would just  go with it. There are so many tendons, ligaments and muscles that need to recover and be used again that some aches and pains are to be expected

I was really glad to see your comment as I have had groin pains today, very sharp and I too wondered if this was normal. I am one week post op and am too very glad of this forum as it is all very reassuring

Hi,Carol,

I was terrified when I started having the groin pain.the whole time you worry about something ,getting in out of bed,getting in shower,it is reassuring to know other people have had the same problem and be able to give you amazing advice.
