Hi everybody-
New to this forum and so glad to be here. I had a skiing accident which resulted in breaking my femural neck bone and had surgery to repair it with 3 pins approximately 7 weeks ago on Feb 11th. Was doing really well and doing PT three times a week. Last week I asked my PT if he could get me a higher step to do the step exercises which required me to step on the step and straddle the step 15 times with each leg. I also asked if I could walk on my treadmill at home which my PT said I could do but with a small incline. I was so excited I was on the Treadmill for 25 minutes. I was okay for the next couple of days and was going up and down my townhouse steps just fine and not taking any advil during the day. I only took two at night so I could have a restful sleep. Last Thursday I woke up several times during the night with hip pain and also back pain. I have been resting all weekend and today as well and I am back on Tramadol and aleve to bring down any inflamation. I am so upset because I am going to Europe on Sunday with my family for 10 days and I am petrified of getting on the airplane and sitting for 7 hours. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow to make sure everything is ok. I was off the cane in my house but now using it again. I havent left my house since Thursday hoping to feel better. Please let me know if it could be anything other than overdoing it! thanks so much.
