Hey Jak sorry to hear you are still sore. Don't give up hope - I think we all heal at different rates. I still get some aches when I've done too much and expect that to go on for a while yet. Can you go to some physio to help with your gait? I started working on that with mine and it has made a huge difference. Just small exercises every day to strengthen the muscles. I am probably walking straighter now than I have in years lol! Hope you have a great weekend. Sam xx

Ah thank you I will see about some physio as it's still very stiff can't keep down can't go up the stairs properly still doing it with right foot then left leg following, can go down stairs ok tho, I'm wondering if maybe doing the simple exercises I was given in hospital I should do thrm in the swimming pool, I'm way better than I was so I am getting there, guess I'm just slow. I'm 6 stone overweight trying to lose weight but hard when I can't get about too well, so maybe the extra weight isn't helping my recovery

Hey Jak.
All this must be driving you mad. But it still seems like post op recovery stuff. I know its a nuisance after 4 months. Josephine is the person who knows about the pain stuff but @Jamie might send someone along who knows more than me. The pain in the butt though seems like piriformus syndrome and the thigh pain also seems to be muscle or tendon related.
What's your activity level at this point ? Try reducing activity for a couple of days and see it this hepls.
Are you taking for example paracetamol regularly to help with the discomfort.
You could give your doctor a call or maybe book an xray for your own satisfaction to rule out any hip problem.
And Ice that butt and thigh. This can be very helpful.
You'll get there Jak.
