Hello everyone-I'm new to the site. I'm 7 weeks THR. OS relaxed my restrictions last week. I've been making good strides with physical therapy exercises and pain has not been a major problem last couple of weeks. Yesterday I did a session with PT (gait training, ankle weight on op leg, some stretching) plus followed my routine stand/laydown exercises at home, walked 4600 steps and went to bed pain free. I slept on op leg side and felt fine. I woke up in the middle of the night with such pain in that leg (felt like day after surger "10" pain) and had to use my walker to go get ice pack and heating pad. I couldn't straighten the leg and only the painkillers made a difference. Today I'm still sore and gimpy. I have a feeling I may have overdone it and want to take the day off today. Should I get back on the 'horse' right away or give it a short break?
