I wanted to start a new thread because there are just so many knee threads and not many hip ones so here goes...
I was really wondering if it is OK for me to stop following the hip precautions at 5 weeks. I've heard that you shouldn't ever cross your legs sitting, but what about not using the pillow at bedtime? Also, the 90 degree rule ~ can I start pulling my operated leg up closer to my chest? I have been doing that to get my shoe and sock on.
