5 week post-op w/doctor today

[debb0223]

I went for my 5 week post-op today and the news is really good. Everything is where it should be with the correct angles. I'm having trouble with my lower back but he said that is normal until everything adjusts and also my pelvis is rotated so that has to get back in position also. Next week (6 weeks) I can start relaxing the hip precautions. I can now drive around the neighborhood and do some errands although don't get crazy all at once. He said I can go back to work which I am really not ready to do yet so I have to see how I want to handle that with my office. He also said I should stretch my muscles little by little to be able to put on shoes and socks. I am really happy with this report and now feel much more confident that any stiffness or soreness is just due to muscles and not something going wrong. I want to thank everyone on the boards and you have not heard the last from me!!!!

Drove to PT today and I went to the chiropractor. He adjusted my shoulders, neck and a slight adjustment to lower back which feels sooooo much better. I'm still pacing myself so no gym yet but tomorrow I get to go food shopping - lucky me!!
