I do think you’re doing too much at this point. I was also hopeful of that magic one year mark. It didn’t happen for me. That was last March. But, I can feel that my leg has relaxed more in the last couple of months.
I’m still having issues at 17 months. My ROM is better than ever, though, so that’s still improving.
Slow things down a bit and see how it feels. Take shorter walks. You can always increase things later.
If you’re still not happy after the one year mark, you can consider another opinion. Often another surgeon won’t see you before the full year as many issues do resolve themselves over time, for some of us even longer than a year.
Second opinions are another whole different ball game. I got a second opinion at 15 months and the very highly recommended surgeon couldn’t be bothered with me. After a 2.5 hour drive to his office he spent about 15 minutes with me, took my notes away from me and said, just tell me. I couldn’t remember, nor did he give me time to think of, most of my list of concerns. It was very disappointing.
Some of our members have been told by their surgeons that recovery can even take as long as 18 months to 2 years. Of course they weren’t told that up front.
We would have so much less stress and worry about our recovery if they would just be honest with us about recovery. We go into this surgery with unrealistic expectations because no one tells us what to expect, other than Bonesmart.
I should maybe give them a really good rest for six weeks and see what happens...
Try to relax, I know it’s hard, I’m in the same situation, and give things more time to settle down.
