Your post breaks my heart,
@Charlie33
I know how hard you've worked and how many treatments and therapies you've tried. I wish I could offer advice, but, to be honest, since Tuesday I've been in the same place. Developed a pain deep in the calf of my operative leg which my PT chalked up to my weight shifting from the nonoperative hip to my operative knee, which is knocked. I did feel better after he did some TPP on the calf, but I won't be seeing him for another week, and the pain today is bad and referring back up to my hip. Not sciatica -- I've had that and this is different.
Like you, I'm questioning why I had the surgery. It's been like dominoes falling -- new hip, then new lumbar pain, and now this. I was walking much better at month 2. On the 19th, it will be month 4. So, like you, I'm asking what this means for my future. Some days are hard to get through physically and emotionally. I get what you're going through and how hard it is to remain hopeful.
Meanwhile, I keep icing, resting, elevating, going to therapy, limping, and living with pain. I wish I could reassure you, but I'll let others do that. All I can offer in the way of comfort is reassuring you that you're not alone. Feel free to vent to me!!!
