Hello! I’m about 11 days out from my TLHR anterior approach. 44 years old, bilateral SCFE with AVN on left side.
Recovery is up and down. I had my first PT today. My goal is to eventually have range of motion that I lost 30+ years ago - maybe I’m dreaming but even just a little outward rotation would be huge. And NO limp. I’ve had one sporadically all this time and I’d love to just walk unspectacularly.
Challenges right now: Having trouble sleeping. I’ve noticed that every once In a while my heart starts racing -up to 130- and it takes all my focus to get it down. Normally it’s in the 70-80 range (according to my iwatch). Also, my blood pressure is up in the 130-140/80-90. My guess is this is a result of a) all the pain b) all the painkillers c) the blood thinners d) the trauma of surgery d) being so sedentary. Any thoughts? I see the PA Tuesday and I’m going to bring it up.
