I've got a long story and I think that may weigh into the effects of how I feel now.
I've had 2 sports hernia/athletic pubalgia surgeries on the left side. It's kind of a rare thing where you tear your stomach muscles from your pubic bone.
2 scopes with cartilage removal.
1 Surgery for Psoas Release
So 5 surgeries on that side of my body since 2007. It was a new surgery every couple of years to try to improve things. In the meantime they thought I was too young for a hip replacement, but they agreed that I needed one. They just kept me on Morphine and Dilauidid for years. At one point I was taking 90mg morphine and 32 mg hydromorphone daily.
I had my replacement done the last week in Feb. I do feel much better than I did before, but I'm still down.
I can't decide if I'm on schedule or completely behind in my recovery.
I have very low stamina and energy level. I could seriously sleep for days if I wanted to. I can walk half a mile and I start limping and hurting. I can walk all day, but the pain is there.
It seems that no matter what activity I do, I end up with really sore muscles. It just never seems to improve. I pulled my bike out after years and rode it around the block 1 day. Then again the next. It caused me to be sore afterwards, so I didn't know if I should continue that?
I'm losing track of what all I've written and am not sure I've gotten all the info I need to post.
I can add more info if anyone needs it.
Do I need to push through and keep exercising? Do I need to just rest it for a while and start exercising again?
Is it normal to feel this way this far out? I have a feeling that I'd slipped so far downhill during the years this has been going on that i've got a long recovery. It just seems no matter what I do, I don't improve. I just need some advice.
