Yes to the chair pad and the little footstool. Both have helped me be as comfy as possible at the desk chair. It does help initially but then I have to get up and "move it move it" . At least my numb leg has subsided about 70%
Since the second surgery.
I just noticed your surgery date! You're a fresh one!! Hope all is going well for you. I'll have to check out your thread!

When are we going to be able to tolerate any something for maybe an hour or so? Sitting, walking, standing.
Just can't tolerate any one thing for too long. ( not even a tv show...)
Agree it's muscle? Just feels somewhat bulging around the socket area. Or else I'm becoming hyper cognizant of it. No doubt that.

Yes I too am an ice queen! Hahaha! All night, after dog/horse chores, all the time if I'm sitting, just don't sit for very long during daytime lately. Really missed my all night gel packs on our little last weekend trip.
Minimal icing and all the walking and car riding I think was the culprit. You're right I need to lay low again.
Not icing right now though, it's
time!

Oh my you're two days out From #2!?!
My second has been easier --KOW. However the first hip/leg has the ITB bursitis thing back again.
That came back from hands and knees in the garden pulling weeds. It was ok while I was doing it
But then later...Yes I'm a bit ODI
My range of motion improved a lot after the second hip throughout the whole pelvic area
seems like muscles that had been locked up just relaxed. Although I was prescribed muscle relaxers too
Which really helped the spasms but Then I started doing and going again. Now have some pain back.
Guess still too soon.
Hope you're holding up and have pain controlled, such early days. I'll go check your thread.
@Kikki
I remember you posted about the hard marble? Is it in the insision? I have smaller hard nodules
in my newest insision and a bit more numb feeling. I don't like how it feels either. Not on right tho.
And yes I well remember the "no way am I walking to the back of the store" days.
And yes!! I've developed a itchy rash over both incisions just since last week. Might be from new clothes?
But both were itching and then the rash started.
These hips take time. Just have to keep that on repeat.
My OS said he was worried if I had a easier hip on the second that I might flare up the first and to take it slow.
I'm back to needing the cane for the right first hip.
Oiy!!
@SaraK
I started shopping at our Wegmans out of the way fancier foo foo store,
because they have a case of the must have dairy items up at the front of the store.
Smart store.
No hockey pucks for you Sara?
Guess I still have some healing to do.
rest up and take care

?? I do hope that you've taken some time to recover/recoup and that you're feeling better; thinking good thoughts for your ease of pain! 
!!! It seems to have eased somewhat (I'm a hair over five months in on that one); but I realized that the "pain in the butt" that I experience (literally), especially riding on my commuter bus, is just another manifestation of it - only it's on both sides now!!! I hadn't made the connection until you asked (and made me actually sit and think) about it - I thought it was some weird extension of my sitz bones or something.
Am coming to the conclusion that it's the seat and position it puts you in, as wonkyhipoy is suggesting. Op side of bum and down the back of the thigh....probably a muscle thing, most aches and pains seem to be laid at their door, but can't quite work it out in my head!
).
Bless your heart for shopping at the outlets!
Prayers for your comfort and healing.
