I recently had a hip arthroscopy done for mixed FAI and a labral tear. The doctor said my labral tear was rather small, but my impingement was worse than he expected and he had to spend some extra time shaving away at the bone.
The initial post-surgical pain did not last long. In fact, I had more pain in my ankle than the hip joint itself. After a few weeks, I was pretty much pain-free.
It has been 5 weeks now, and I have started to become more active. My PT now has me doing things like using an elastic band with leg raises and partial squats.
It has been one day since I've done these new exercises, and my hip joint feels a bit inflamed. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's been sitting between 2 and 3 for most of the day. Is it normal to feel inflammatory pain after exercise at this stage (5 weeks)?
I have another PT appointment coming up a few days. I intend to ask my PT about it, but in the meantime I figure it couldn't hurt to ask others about their recovery experience.
