I had THR on 10/10/17. All was well I thought. Went back to work in Jan after 11 weeks. Now I’m experiencing excrutiating pain which radiates from the front of the thigh, side of the leg and the operated hip. It’s very uncomfortable when I walk. I still have Pt and the Pt Told me my muscles are tight. I’d this normal?
I had mine a week after you did. 10/18/17. An anterior approach on the left hip. I’ve delt with tightness, but have seen much improvement over the past few weeks. Yesterday I went back to bowling. I’m convinced the more you move and stretch, the faster you’ll be back to normal. I couldn’t be happier with my outcome.
I had extra PT for this very thing as I was getting pains when commuting in and out of London a couple of years ago now. My PT said it was tight muscles too, so that sounds right. She was great at freeing them up and showing me how to self-massage the affected leg.
Best wishes
