    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    I wish I could tell you. I've been trying to take things pretty easy. I get in a bunch of walking, but maybe not enough? I still prop my leg up at night with a pillow and it helps to (still!) lay down in the middle of the day (not exactly complaining about taking naps! lol) but this whole...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Hi again, all! I've been a bit absent because, well... life stuff and my hip and leg seemed to be improving. Thanks to everyone who helped with support and questions! Concerningly, my thigh seems to be regressing some. I'm not sure if it's just weak or if there is a concern. The front of my...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Thank you. That is actually how I'm getting into and out of the car. I guess it's normal because it's really the action of lifting the leg off the floor and over the frame. Also, the front thigh tightness is normal? Just want to be clear. And thank you so much for your time!!! I've learned a...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Hi again. I am now 6 weeks out from surgery and am having 2 issues I don't quite know what to do about. They seem to be minor and will most likely resolve along with everything else, but I wanted to check and see if anyone had any ideas on what I could do to take care of them. I say it's 2...

    THR TripleF100 in recovery<

    Sadly, sometimes overdoing it is the only way to find out you weren't ready and to discover some strategies to test out readiness before heading in full-throttle. My surgery (left hip) was on July 30, so I'm a bit ahead of you time-wise, although I don't walk as far as you do yet. One thing I...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Yep. Traveling pain certainly describes it. And it isn't the same as the pain just after surgery. This is more low-level and it is more like post-workout pain. More than discomfort, but getting the muscles up and running again is going to have some comfort issues. I've paid for it when I've...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    It's funny. A few days ago I was sooooo worried about top of thigh/groin area pain. That went away (rest, rest, rest + gentle walking) Now it's outer glutes. LOL I am figuring out that the discomforts shift around. One area gets resolved and another ramps up a bit. I now just figure that it's a...

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Oh my gosh! I do this all the dang time. I like to research if for no other reason than that it gives me better ideas of what questions to ask! lol My primary kind of laughs about it, but we get along well and he doesn't mind. It's a thing most doctors have to deal with anymore. BTW, I have...

    Wow do I agree with this. Dr. Google has been frustration after frustration. My search results basically would only talk about the alarming things. Finding good answers on THR recovery is difficult! Thank you

    Sorry... another question. Groin muscle pain. When I google it, all I get are alarming results. I assume that this muscle gets jostled around during surgery as well, but I'll just ask. Is it normal or is this something I should be concerned about?

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Checking out the activity suggestions, I am nowhere near the suggested walking times of 30 minutes! Does this mean at a time? Or over the course of the day? I can do about 5-7 minutes before the hip area muscles get very tired and weak feeling. I can stand and do dishes, etc. I will say that I...

    Thank you! Are there any differences in outcomes or restrictions or things to watch out for with this approach?

    THR 4 weeks into recovery. Questions.

    Hi again, all... the advice and support in here is awesome. I lucked out on the PT boat since mine was very conservative and gave me exercises that in no way violated any of the hip protocols and were pretty gentle. The only setback I had was she had me try a move, which I did do, but it was...
