    THR Six weeks since surgery and still can't do a straight leg lift.

    Thank you for the reinforcement. I've been wondering if I was not pushing myself enough. I'm feeling strong but don't want to hurt anything and just want to get into a good routine to get back to the gym and exercising every day. After so many years of pain I became a lazy about an exercise...

    @Michegon Yes more PT but think I might start doing more on my own instead of PT I know it sounds crazy to do more with the Bursitis and tendinitis but I've been doing it and feel better who would have thought????? The only thing that PT does is massage my leg and hips I like it but I don't...

    Well doc gave me tramadol for the bursitis and tendinitis. I'm doing much better but hope to be off all meds in the next 4-6 weeks. I rode the bike at gym 30 min. Last two days and that feels good. No pain biking( low resistance) now and PT is getting easier. I'm going to take a easy yoga class...

    THR Six weeks since surgery and still can't do a straight leg lift.

    @EditorER, we had surgery on the same day. I had both my hips done same day though. I'm have a bit of a set back as well and your story seems to parallel mine. I stopped meds as well just anti inflammatory, but this "new pain" is almost worst. The work thing, as well. I went back way too early...

    Went to 6week check up. He said he is not where I should be as far as pain and instead of coming back in a year I have to come back in 6 months. He Thinks it's just tendons and muscles that have to work themselves out, because X-rays look good. I need to strengthen and stretch more....not sure...

    @Sagefemme thank you. This is what I needed. Didnt think of it as nagging, but a true statement and will try to follow. Only thing with the meds, they just make me loopy and hope to see of some thing else will work. Tylonol does not seem to do the trick. Thank you for your encouraging and...
