Hi all. I had a left THR on Sept 13 so exactly 2 weeks ago today. I think I’ve made decent progress but there are a couple of things I’d love some input on.
1) I’d pay money to be able to sit comfortably without my left butt cheek screaming. I know he had to cut through my glute etc but would love to know how others deal with this.
2)same for trying to sleep (back only w pillows betw my legs). Im having trouble sleeping in general and just can’t get comfortable. My lower back gets really really sore.
I’m elevating, icing, taking meds (though off the opioids - whew) and doing everything I’m supposed to. Walking as much as I can. But man, My muscles are so tight and strained. I’d use a foam roller but can’t move like that yet and dr said it was too soon for it.
I know these aren’t “mega” issues like many face but would love to know if anyone has any fairy dust to sprinkle here. Thanks!
