I'm new to BoneSmart. I'm experiencing pain in my opposite hip.
I had a posterior total right hip replacement June 23, 2020 due to osteoarthritis (bone on bone). Surgery and recovery have been going well with the exception of left hip is hurting (gluteus minimus and medius area and down outside of my leg). I do have osteoarthritis in this hip but not as bad and not bone on bone.
I suspect that part of my left hip problem is do to over compensating to my left hip when struggling with bone on bone in my right hip for 7 months. I was hoping that the right hip replacement would clear up my left hip problem. And maybe it will. I had visiting PT and I'm currently into my 6th week of outpatient PT. I initially, thought my left hip problem was a gluteus minimus/medius problem with pain radiating down the side of my leg into the outside of my calf, which I struggled with in the past and PT helped. Now I'm not so sure that's my problem now, it might be the osteoarthritis. I see my surgeon August 26th for my 6 week post op.
My new hip is great! I suspect I'm also pushing too hard. I can walk for 12-15 minutes and the pain slowly worsens in my opposite (left) hip with no pain in my new (right) hip. I have to rest for a few minutes, then I can walk again for 12-15 minutes and the pain slowly starts again in my. That's my limit thus far.
I'm also struggling with walking technique. I'm trying to push off my toes equally in my stride. I've been so out of wack for 9 months, I'm not sure if I'm walking correctly. Are there any articles on how to walk properly after hip replacement surgery.
Suggestions welcome...Thx in advance....Dan
