Please find below my answers:
1. L-THR Revision 2 months ago is posterior (L-THR 20 yrs ago was posterolateral)
2. Pain level 5-6 since a couple of days
3. Post op first 3-4 weeks I was given the following:
Meloxicam (Zeloxim fort) 15 mg, twice a day
Paracetamol/cafein/codein (Geralgine-K) 500mg/30mg/10mg, twice a day
Tramadol (Contramal) 50 mg, once daily
Pregabalin (Lyrica) 25mg, once daily
I used the above religiously on time for the first 3 weeks and my pain level was 2-3
However, I dropped Tramadol and pregabalin 3 or 4 weeks post op and gradually decreased Meloxicam to once daily plus Paracetamol 500 mg once or twice daily between 4-7 weeks post op and I nearly stopped all since 1-2 weeks. However I have been taking Meloxicam once daily and Paracetamol 500 mg twice since a couple of days
4. The first 5-6 weeks I was icing for about 30-40 minutes religiously for every 3 hours during the day time, posterior area
The last 2-3 weeks, nearly none and I did not have pain nearly
Since a couple of days, icing every 2 hours for 30-40 minutes the groin area
Currently icing again
5. Elevating continuously while sitting
6. Activity level is low, no house work etc just walking in the corridor for activity purpose and counting my steps and in good weather 15 min of walking outside.
Started pool about 10 days ago, The first two visits was just 20 minutes of soft adaptation, yet the last one was more exercising, drills and cycling back and forth for 40 minutes, placed the physio rubber between my ankles and walked sideways. Probably overdid, the following day I had groin pain. I iced and rested for one day, it passed. The following day I had to sit upright between 9:00-16:00 for a meeting And the pain is back again. Currently I have not started work and have been working from home sitting in my recliner, elevated legs.
7. My physiotherapy was between the 3rd-6th week post op at home once or twice per week, total of 6-7 sessions which is over since 3 weeks by now.
I am not doing anything extra physio by myself
Just walking between 15-45 minutes of total/day, 1500-2000 steps per day in intervals..
Have been walking with 1 crutch post op 8th week
I hope the above helps
Looking forward to hear from you
