I had my anterior thr on January 7, 2019. Things have gone pretty well. I did a weird twist thing a little over 2 weeks ago, felt like I pulled a muscle. It was before my PT that day. In PT, the exercises actually helped it feel a little better, but then about an hour after I got home I was in extreme pain, more than I had had since day 1. I took some pain medication and put ice on it and after about 3 or 4 days of stiffness, it was better again. Yesterday I had my 6 week follow up appointment and my OS said everything looks great. He told me that aside from putting my leg back and to the side like doing some sort of ice skating move, I can do anything I want.
So I do have a couple of questions. I haven't tried lying on the operated side yet, but I guess I can, is that correct? I tentatively tried it this morning, but it felt weird, so I didn't fully do it. Also, what about bending my leg up like to put on socks? I'm anxious to be rid of the sock putter-oner thing. What other things should I still not be doing? I don't want to do anything too soon that I shouldn't.
