Hola a todos, estoy en la semana 8 de mi recuperación de una cirugía del tendón rotuliano derecho lateral y hasta hace una semana me iba muy bien. Había dejado de usar las muletas en la semana 5 y el cirujano muy contento en mi revisión de las 6 semanas, pero esta semana parece que he retrocedido mucho. Mi cadera y muslo están rígidos y doloridos y me siento muy decaído y sin energía. ¿Alguien más ha pasado por esto? Si es así, ¿hay algo que pueda hacer?
Hola Joanne, lamento escuchar que te sientes decaída. Lo que sientes, creo, es bastante común.
Me sentí "euforica" porque mi dolor había desaparecido y era más móvil. Olvidaba que tenía una nueva cadera, ¡y la gran cirugía que conlleva! Luego... tuve dolores y molestias, rigidez, la fatiga inicial que había sentido regresó y me sentí realmente desanimada. En este punto, mi única opción fue retroceder unos pasos y tomar mi progreso un poco más lento y volver a la mentalidad de "has tenido una gran operación". Esto me ha ayudado, otros pueden tener un enfoque diferente.
Espero que encuentres algo que te ayude a volver a la normalidad. Mis mejores deseos x
Suenas exactamente como yo. Hoy estoy en la semana 9 y estoy en la misma etapa. Creo que solo tenemos que tener paciencia, porque, según lo que he leído, no es tan inusual. Quizás solo hemos exagerado, ya que lo hicimos muy bien al principio. La curación claramente toma más tiempo del que esperamos y deseamos. Sin embargo, mucha suerte, al final lo lograremos.
Hi! I think you should take it a little more easey and give it more time to heal. I had both my hips done and my right leg done really good but my left leg has still have pain in it and it's been four months sence my surgery and I have to go back to therapy today. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to heal.just do as your doctor says and you will be ok. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Larry
I'm week 7 and I have also been going quite well, but on and off I get very tight muscles, and have been getting stiff and sore too. My physio says this is normal. After all, everything in your leg is now in a different spot and has been cut and manipulated, so as we exercise more the muscles will get stiff and sore. So I massage it and continue to do gentle exercises. to keep it mobile. I have also had nausea from the toxins that can get into the system from all this, and yes do get very tired as sometimes I feel I am pushing through discomfort al the time. be patient it will get better but there will be ups and downs.
Hi Joanne,
I would say don't worry. My physical therapist told me the healing process consists of steps forward and backward! He said 100% healing takes as long as a year. You're at the beginning and making fantastic progress!! Don't sell yourself short....you're moving toward 100%. Keep going and looking forward. Best of everything to you.

Hi Joanne, I've just entered week 9 of my recovery from a right thr and feel exactly the same as you. I went back to my part time school bursar's job after 6 weeks and as i am back driving I am back to supporting my 90 year old mother. I felt so well when I started back at work but now my hip, thigh, knee are painful and my back is stiff in the morning. Like you I feel as though I don't have any energy and I feel so despondent. My colleague booked me onto a conference with her this week and I just do not want to go! Would rather sit quietly at work.
I do wonder if I'm doing too much lifting and generally rushing around more than I should. However someone has to and it won't be my son! I'm finding it hard because I've been so inactive over the past couple of years and I can't seem to push myself forward as I expected.
I do feel reassured that there are others in the same position as me and I guess it is a time thing and we have to be very patient. Good luck with it all, I'm sure you will get there soon.
Querida Sylvie
¡Dios mío! Me estaba compadeciendo de mí misma hasta que leí tu respuesta. ¡No estoy haciendo ni de lejos tanto como tú! Creo que tienes que decirles a tus compañeros que no estás lo suficientemente fuerte como para hacer una conferencia, de lo contrario terminarás de nuevo en el hospital. Mi familia cree que es el conducir lo que está causando algunos de mis problemas. ¿No hay manera de que alguien pueda hacerse cargo de algunos de tus recados de conducir? Sé que es difícil pedir ayuda, ya que todos piensan que deberíamos estar por encima de lo "peor", pero espero que haya alguien a quien puedas pedirle ayuda. Te envío todo mi cariño y un gran abrazo xxx
Querida Joanne, eso es bastante normal, yo también me sentí así. Pasará.
Toma un día a la vez, haz tu ejercicio, da un paseo corto. Mejorará con el tiempo. Si puedes ir a tomar café con amigos, leer algunos libros.
Eso es lo que intento hacer. Anímate, la próxima semana será mejor, confía en mí.
Este foro es genial y honestamente no habría pasado sin este sitio.
Abrazo Madla😐😐
Dear Joanne
so pleased to receive your reply because driving to my mum this morning I was wondering if part of my problem is driving which is again like you. I have an automatic and I feel very much that my right leg is not happy moving to and fro. I'm widowed with a son who is out all the time but friends were extremely good until of course I told them I was independent again and thanked them for what they had done. i am going to try and keep driving to the bare minimum.
You are right about the conference. It is held within a football stadium and I can remember limping into it last year. It is a vast area as you might imagine. I think my colleague is going on her own this year, I didn't expect her to book me on!
I used to take a fair bit of exercise including off road running, so although I don't expect to go back to that I just long to be able to do a decent length walk but progress has ground to a halt. I wish the NHS allowed more than 3 physio sessions, I still have questions especially as I have a naturally shorter left leg. My right femur is longer I was told some years ago.
Advice seems to be there are steps forwards and steps back so we have to keep positive. Sending my very best wishes to you x
