Surgery was at 8:30 this morning. Got home around 7:15 this evening. It took a good while for my spinal block to wear off & I couldn’t work with OT/PT until that happened. My surgeon said my hip was much worse once he got in there. So that makes me more confident in my decision to have it done. He said the surgery went great & my first follow up appt is in 5 wks.
So my first question is whether it’s normal to feel popping sensations when I’m up & walking? No pain, just different sensations I’m feeling in different areas. Dr did say my hip flexor was very tight, so a majority of my pain is in the inner part of my leg. I’m guessing as things shift back into place, these will be normal feelings. I’m just so worried I’m going to move the wrong way & mess things up. Also, is it best to just get up & walk for trips to the bathroom right now & let things rest as much as possible? I’m keeping ice on a majority of the time.
I’m thankful to all of the nurses & doctors that took care of me today and, of course, my hubby for putting up with me.
Going to try & get some sleep now. Any helpful hints are appreciated SO much!
