46 yr old male. I had anterior RTHR feb 8 2023 zero restrictions. I am now 11 weeks PO. If I am to be honest those youtube videos got me good that I watched. lol I told work see you in 8 weeks. NOOOOT. MY story goes as such...wake up from surgery and ouch legs is numb and pain that I was not expecting. I told the nurses that I am supposed to be enjoying this recovery and I have to much pain. They gave me pain meds. Nighty Nighty. Discharcherd a few hours later. At home the nxt 2 week are miserable. MY entire thigh is numb and painful. Leg swells to my foot and some bruising along this side of foot. Transferred to cane at four weeks and at 6 weeks I bring the can in case leg gets tired. 1ST Problem is from sitting to standing my hip muscle contract like they are in a vice. I can t straighten up. I wait a minute for them to relax and start to walk. I fight a limp for a few steps. My hip flexor is extremelt tight and My numbness goes halfway down my thigh. did I say my thigh hurts. ouchy... 2ND issue I cant tie shoe or put my socks on the operated side. Not from lack of trying. Feels like the crease in my leg, where thigh attaches to my torso is jammed. When I sit on a chair I can bend forward if my knee is bent and my foot is under the chair. If my leg is at 90 its jammed in the crease. I can sit on my knees but cant have my knee bent infront of me with my hand on knee. Same position when we played sports and the coach asked us to take a knee. I feel like i hit 6 weeks and just stopped progressing. I cant lift my leg high enough to put clothes on. sitting to drive sucks. Any sitting sucks. extreme pain in crease of thigh. PRE OP i was able to get dressed and sit with no pain. I had the surgery because i had some pain, weakness and a lot of catching inside the hip. Electric shock. However I was not disabbled like this.. looking for advice
