    "end of stem pain"

    I am 14 weeks post op and saw my surgeon for a check up today. I told him of pain that I have when I 'overdo' on the outside of my thigh - similar to bursitis pain. He explained that they used to think it was caused by the scar when the surgery incision is posterior. But as patients...

    Foot and Thigh Feel Warm

    My thigh also feels warm to the touch. My doctor said that a lot of blood flows into the muscles during surgery and it takes time for all of it to dissipate. I am 9 weeks out and still have hot thigh syndrome...

    teaching Pilates @ 5 1/2 weeks post op

    I am also anxious to get back on my Pilates reformer machine and would also like to know if there are any exercises I should avoid. I loaned it out to a friend and should get it back this weekend - can't wait to stretch all those muscles evenly - it really helped me straighten out before my...

    Totally frustrated..... second guessing myself

    Oh boy, do I ever understand this. It's not just the pain from the surgery that makes you weary, it's the pain you had for years before that has just worn you out. And when your body is healing you are vulnerable to all kinds of feelings. This is the first week I've been back at work with a...

    Does cold weather affect how your new hip feels?

    I'm wondering if this awful cold much of the US is experiencing is being felt in any of your new joints? Since I still ice my hip from the outside to help inflammation, would the cold weather have an icing/anti-inflammatory effect from the inside out if you were out long enough for the cold to...

    Still not walking with out pain after 2 months

    I am glad to read that some are still walking like penguins! That's exactly the thought I had this morning when I got out of bed. I know I am making progress 8 weeks out, but it seems like every few days my body screams at me until I give it a full 12-14 hour rest. It is very encouraging to...

    7 weeks on - letting go of the cane

    In my 7th week of recovery, I am finding it harder to remember where I put my cane - a sure sign that I don't need it always at my side. A doctor friend once told me that the six week timeframe for healing, both physically and emotionally, is universally helpful for whatever the body and mind...

    Three months on ...

    I am about 6 weeks out and when my PT massages my hip area she tries to release scar tissue and when that happens I feel that exact same 'ping'.

    This is harder than I expected- feeling down

    Thank you for your comments. My thoughts were scattered and the muscle hardness is separate from the scar tissue as my PT explained. I appreciate getting the support to continue the pain meds as necessary. I am anxious to be med-free but just need to be patient. And I did get out a bit after...

    This is harder than I expected- feeling down

    I am five weeks post-op (right hip, anterior) and feeling down that I'm not pain free - still need the prescription meds, my whole leg aches, thigh muscles are hard and tender to the touch. My PT says my body is making a lot of scar tissue that she is trying to massage away - how long before...
