    THR Buttock pain 3 months post op<

    Hello I guess I'm not great at posting but here it goes Surgery was 17 months ago, postier approach and I'm still having pain across my buttock and down the side along my scar. My hamstrings are extremely tight and I'm trying stretching but to no avail. Does the offset of my leg bone 10mm sound...

    Hi @Josephine For some reason I didn't receive any notification that you replied, I'm sorry I guess what I am looking for is your thoughts on whether this will be something that I will be able to work through with stretching and such? Is it an indication of a botched surgery? The original...

    Hi Been awhile since I've posted but have had ongoing pain problems since my surgery 16 months ago. I recently received a 2nd opinion and was told my offset compared to my original xray had an increase of +10 mm in offset with a LLD of 5mm and that this was most likely the cause of my pain. I...

    Hi Yes it has gotten better! What really helped was the Myofascial release therapy. Not sure if your wife would be ready for that at 5 weeks or not? Anyway it took around a month at 2 appointments per week but eventually it subsided. I was 5 months post op before I started and wish I would have...

    Good luck with your appointment. Sounds like a 2nd opinion is a must no matter what I wonder how is the best way of going about this? Some type of recommendation but from whom?

    Good morning I hope you all will be fine with the storm coming. Looks pretty scary on the weather channel. In the last week I have noticed a slight improvement with the pain, not go next by any means but better. I realize as things improve I need to focus on reducing than eliminating my use of...

    Good morning @Josephine The reason I asked was the link from your Piriformis Syndrome article mentioned an injection if things didn't settle down. I'm the one who brought it up to Pain Center Dr but obviously I wouldn't want to go through anything like what you describe. I know they use...

    Yep screws for me too. Must be normal. They told me it was to make sure nothing moved during initial healing stages. I will try one or probably both cushions maybe they will help Thank you Sir

    Thanks @lalo I bought some cushions but not crazy about them. Can you give me any info on where you got yours or a pic or something? I would give them a try Thanks for the support it's not always a smooth recovery and after so long mentally becomes challenging. I try to stay positive but as my...

    @Josephine I will stick with the walking and stationary bike then. I'm considering an injection in that Piriformis if that doesn't settle down Thoughts on that? Then I will leave you alone for time being Thank you

    @Josephine Are you saying that I shouldn't worry about building up that muscle at this point?

    Hello @Josephine The Norcos are 5/325 and they are giving me 4 per day. I take 1 in the morning along with 2 ibuprofen 400 mg Then 2 mid-day and sometimes one at night but if I'm just laying around I don't take it because the pain is less than when I'm active. Then 2 ibuprofen 400 mg in evening...

    They are a kind of leg lifts where you bend your other leg and use it to push down on the leg your lifting. Just started doing those last week after starting new therapy. Can't say that it causes any immediate pain. Thank you for your support it does help. I just need to turn that corner and I...
