Okay, I made it through surgery on the 24th. I can get around on my walker, dress myself, shower, ride in the car. Everything takes more time, but I can do it. The only real problem that is getting me down is the pain in my right knee. It is accompanied by swelling when it hurts. I'm hoping it is due to compensation for my quads and not having full use yet. Or, because I limped for 2yrs prior to surgery my knee muscles are being rediscovered.
I've read on other forums that some experience knee pain for a long time after THR..
Anyone out there gone through this? I know it's only my first week, but I was expecting pain near the surgery and around my hip, not in my knee.
