Hi, my sleep since surgery has not been very restful, which I know is common during recovery but lately I have been very restless in bed because of a discomfort I feel when trying to lay with my legs flat. It feels like a muscle/tendon, etc in my inner groin/hip going down the inside of my thigh is being stretched by my legs being flat/straight, forcing me to move my leg to try to find a comfortable position. Has anyone else experienced that? I’m really hoping it will go away in time. I can finally sleep for a little bit on my I operated side with a pillow between my legs (slightly bent), but not for too long.
I also feel like this same issue is making me walk a bit hunched over (not completely straight up) since I can feel it “pulling”. All of this of course makes me feel like something wrong went on with my surgery and that I will have an uncomfortable long-term effect… is this something that will work out on its own once all the soft tissue parts have healed??
Any insight or experience would be greatly appreciated.
