THR Hip pain 10 months pst LHR

[Seanie2014]

Hi , I’d really recommend the PT as it really helped greatly with my hip especially the one leg standing, I do it as the kettles boiling... squats, bridges and holding postures I’m 7months post Thr

@Coacher I think the dry needling is related to acupuncture but they operate differently. The PT inserts a very thin needle and I generally don't feel anything. Then they move it gently when sets off very brief muscle spasms or "twitches." That part is absent in acupuncture. I think the effect is similar to massaging out a "knot" but faster and more effective. It can be a a bit painful but is totally worth it. Dry needling allowed me to put off my surgery for an extra couple years and is now really helping my recovery.

@Coacher … the cortisone shot did help some but still have some issues but pain is definitely less severe.

Delighted to hear the pains somewhat relieved although I found with the injections they last just for a period of time
I’m definitely limping less now and I can actually feel my muscle getting stronger because of my PT , I just get pain in the right buttocks by evening and once I rest it ... it goes
I’m taking no pain pills, I find to my surprise the strengthening exercises relieve the pain if it comes during the day but do rest whenever you can and avoid stretching exercises...
I also practice breathing n meditating and loving my pain I know it sounds funny but it really helps.... you’ll get there
