Can anyone help!
I had A BHR on 7th February and all went well. I can now walk unaided for short distances with little or no limp. This part of the operation is a success.
One issue that I do have is that when laid down or sat in a chair, I cannot lift my leg no matter how I try. If my leg is lifted for me I cannot sustain the lift at any point in mid air.
Furthermore, bending movement is very restrictive and while in this position, I cannot lift my leg or foot to put on my socks. In fact in this position I cannot support my weight on my operated hip due to pain in the groin and buttock. I do get periodic pain in the groin when walking, if I catch my foot, or even sneeze!
I have visitied my surgeon who has stated that this "is not right" but was not more forthcoming except to inform me that he would be recommending an ultrasonic scan.
Can anyone help me in determing whether this is normal and if not have you experienced this issue and how was it resolved.
I thank you in advance for your help.
