Happy Wednesday!
Oh the ebbs and flows of hip surgery recovery.. Especially at the one month mark, I was ever so anxious and peppering my thread with "is this normal?" and "why is this doing this now?" questions.
This too is normal and will keep improving
Which makes it hard to find the lines of enough but not too much. I always felt better when moving about too... But after a rest... The stiffness inevitably returned. Again, quite normal so try not to worry.
Still early days, my friend.
One thing I can say for certain... It is not from icing too much.
This was my best therapy after activity and I iced constantly when sitting for the first three months.
One month out is primetime for cabin fever and concerns over whether there will be residual repercussions from our surgery.
Stay patient...it gets better and many of these issues just take time.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

I had the same... And you likely will have some different pains fire up elsewhere as you are more active.Sometimes while walking it's a sudden instability as I try to walk on the right leg. A pain fires along the front of the hip from the hip flexor.
I think performing this movement is hard on a newly operated hip and too soon for having so much weight for those still healing soft tissues to contend with. Likely to cause groin strain as you compensate...at least that's how I felt.while lying down, then lifting my right leg a bit and then moving the right leg outward to the right (like opening scissors) that this easily caused the pain to fire. At one point it fired quite sharply. almost like a shooting pain.
Good old "stutter steps" as it's been called by many.When I stand up after sitting, I'm finding a very tight and resisting pain from the hip flexor towards the TFL. It feels like muscles/tendons are stuck together.
This too is normal and will keep improving
Some of those leg lifts might not be helping this so be gentle right now. All normal....I've noticed that the area around the hip flexor and the inguinal ligament is quite tense and bulging at the moment.
It never hurts until we stop.It felt like it got better throughout the day as I stayed a little bit active.

Things pop up at different times in our journey and you are the best to know how your body is reacting to certain exercises and activities.I just wondered if anyone knows what this is and why it would manifest 4 weeks after the surgery. Did I ice too much for example?
