Hi
@Layla and all!
Been a while... sorry. Thought I’d post an update...
So TLHR Was done about 3.5 months ago now...
Was back to work at 10 weeks. Very tough first 3 days, I was a wreck but each week has got better on the whole
My pre op knee pain continued up until about a few weeks ago but is improving now i think
Walking is basically fine
O/s Issues:-
1. I have been having various aches & pains & muscle tightness on my operated leg; around my knee again, my operated hip & even the other hip, & the wound is a bit stingy & numb.
Feels like a bit of a step backwards tbh - hoping I’ve not done something to it! I did have a stumble the other day which can’t of helped
- still uncomfortable sitting & sleeping
- still tbc if related to the hip problem either pre or post op but shockingly painful shoulders & upper arms & stiff neck
I only discovered this when i first tried to return to sleeping on my side again after the initial back only phase. It hurts SO much to put my head on my arm & sleep on my side. Got Physio in 3 weeks but meanwhile..!?
So in summary - walking is generally good, very smooth - i think its ‘everything’ else trying to recover from the trauma of it all
Any idea how long typically it takes to he free of aches & pains post op if the op went well (which mine did) ?
Cheers
