I wish I could have your optimism! Everything that I have ever seen or heard before surgery was all rainbows and unicorns - pain was immediately gone, recovery was a breeze, etc -and these are from actual patients that I have spoken with first hand! No way did I expect this level of pain and difficulty one month into this process.
Fortunately for me - this is one and done - no problems whatsoever in the other hip. This one needed to be replaced due to dysplasia. But a year is a really long time to be completely out of my life, considering that these devices seem not to last that long, and revisions have less success.
First appointment with the OneStep PT was interesting - but she is recommending the same painful exercises that my in home PT told me to do - leg swings, squats, etc. I expressed concern and she told me just to leave feedback, and not to do anything that was painful. Let's see what happens going forward.
