Here y'go then!
It would be very helpful if you would
answer each one individually - numbered as I have done - in as much detail as you can then I'll come back as see where you are
1. what approach did you have for your surgery? Anterior, posterior, lateral? You can look here to see the various types
THR approaches or incisions
2. what are your pain levels right now?
(remember the 1-10 scale: 1 = no pain and 10 = the worst you can imagine. And don't forget to factor in other forms of pain such as soreness, burning, stabbing, throbbing, aching, swelling and stiffness).
3. what pain medications have you been prescribed, how much are you taking (in mg please) and how often?
4. are you icing your painful area at all? If so, how often and for how long?
5. are you elevating your leg. If so how often and for how long?
6. what is your activity level? What do you do in the way of housework, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc., and
7. are you doing any exercises at home? If so what and how often?
This is the most crucial question so please help me by using the format I have left as an example
(
which means please make a list and not an essay!)
Exercises done at home
- how many sessions you do each day
- enter exercise by name then number of repetitions of each
etc., etc.
Anything done at PT
- how many times a week
- enter exercise by name then number of repetitions of each
etc., etc.
