1: How long will my feet feel as heavy as cinder blocks when I walk?
2: Still cannot do the leg raise w/ the left leg.
3: Left leg is so weak.
4: Have pain in both front thighs just below the pubic crease in leg...below pelvic area, upper most thigh, left leg being much worse.
5. Have discomfort/pressure when standing in the lower back to each side of the back...the area where the hips are, where I had the arthritic hip pain pre surgery...back x-rays clean...no arthritis.
6. PT says I walk hunched over some, I must consentrate on being tall and staright, feels so awkward and hard, uncomfortable. She says my shoulders are so stiff and tight and when I bring the stronger right leg forward I use my upper body and my shoulder swings forward....I am using my upper body on right side to help get the leg forward.
7: really feel left side has made little to no progress.
8: My scar area feels tight deep inside and big, there is no swelling or heat, scars are healing just fine. Could this be scar tissue forming and being restrictive??
9: Will this get a whole lot better or is this basically it, heavy legged, stiff, weakness? Will I
ever go up and down stairs with a carefree spring in my step again? Or will these hips always be on my mind 24/7 & feel some what crippled?
10: I was under the impression all would be good and I would not even notice I had fake hips! This is better than the arthritis because I have some relief when I am not moving around and it is different pain/discomfort.
11: Sitting in a chair for extended periods is not comfortable.
