Hi Fellow Hippies. Had Hydro yesterday ( day 15) what seemed like gentle exercises with the Physio Now feels like I've been in a Rodeo!!! 4.30 Am Awake and in pain in bum, thighs, knees , legs !! Can hardly move .......OWCHA!! TBH first real pain since the Op. !! Ice packs will be the order of the day and a good long rest to recover lol . Good grief all Kim's on fire & lively.
surgeon very happy with me!! He says I'll go from strength to strength now . One crutch and if I feel strong enough at times in the house it's ok to use none! Whatever feels good! If I'm tired and out use two. Whatever floats my boat.lol
So all in all when my sore body calms down........all is on the whole good!!
Ok back to Sleep( I hope) xxx
Ohh sounds like you have had a real work out with the physio, maybe you overdid it a little, my physio used to say to me work with me till you feel the pull, its not a exercise in being painful. Other than that you have discovered muscles that you may not have used for a long time, and that they have been knocked around during the surgery, can you take some panadol to ease the real discomfort, also acts as an anti-immflamatory. Packet of peas is the best for sore muscles, wrap in a towel, and mould around sore muscles. I used to work many years ago with a football team, and they had a deep-freeze full of peas for just such a use.
Haha yes you're right. In the Hydro you don't feel anything a hurting, did the gentlest exercises ( I thought) but omg on fire today! Sure you're right re muscles! A few of mine had been ripped and detached the surgeon said & for sometime, so I've been compensating for years probably, not using correct muscles for walking etc.
Well as they say No pain no gain🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕 I have a multitude of moulding ice packs from when I had my knee done. They'll be all over me soon lol. Xxxxx
hi gaby,
just checking in and find out how you are doing?
maybe rest today ?
I don't know about the no pain no gain here.
To me it is actually : there is no gain in having pain with THR 😔
