Hi all. I am new to this site and hoping to get some help/suggestions for how to proceed. I had a right THR post op 6 mo. I had a normal recovery and started back to 'regular' activities about 2 1/2 mo post op. I completed my 12 weeks of PT without incident and continued the exercises for some time afterwards. I went slow and added more walking, exercise bike etc. Iced and took NSAIDs as needed (didn't need pain meds such as Oxy past 2 mo). By 4-5 mo I was exercising daily, hiking and walking the beach averaging >10K steps without a problem.
Now, lately I have had intermittent shooting pain in that groin and soreness as the day progressed, discomfort similar to before the surgery while sitting, standing and driving a car. I am in complete shock as I thought by this time I would be back to fully exercising and hitting way more than 10K steps.
My surgeons office asked me to go in but unfortunately I have to wait for a referral from my PCP due to insurance. It's been a week and I feel at times that maybe going to the ER to get the appropriate tests done to determine the problem may be easier and take a lot less time. Just plain frustrated.
I'm really trying to ask your expert opinions on how to proceed? Wait for the insurance and referral and just lay, ice and add NSAIDs or go to ER?
And some ideas on what it could be? I've heard of iliopsoas tendon and it sounds similar but I don't want to assume that Google knows the answers.
I appreciate any and all help/suggestions you have.
