Haha just got home from dinner out with my sisters so never saw your post on my thread! These bonesmarties have worked their magic behind the scenes.
Since you’d posted on my thread, I’ll give you my experience for what it’s worth.
You maybe thinking your recovery will be linear, but my experience is that each leg progresses at their own pace. That also means regression in odd ways too. @Mojo333 had a great graphic that shows expectations vs reality, not sure if you’ve seen it.
I was a weirdo and watched actual surgeries of hip replacements (just because I’m a “need to know” type) so i can understand why there is random pain and setbacks (with all the hammering, sawing and drilling that went on). I think it’s a miracle that I’m better than I was pre op. Are you worried that any pain is an infection in the prosthesis? I know I did. Gradually each week I gained more confidence that my body was healing and all was going to be ok. I hope that day comes for you soon. Sending healing hugs your way @Aline
