I don't know that you can blame hip problems on years of on and off use of crutches. If they were used properly, it shouldn't have caused a problem for you. More than likely the hip pain you're feeling is a result of just having surgery on your knee recently and the fact that your other knee may have problems as well. I don't imagine your strength and normal gait have returned just yet.

The important thing right now is to get this knee healed and functioning properly. It sounds like things are going well in that aspect. Just be sure you're not trying to push yourself when you have pain. Treat the pain with either icing, meds or a combination of the two. And try to be patient....I know it's difficult when you just want to move on. But you're just slight more than 2 months out from the revision and it may be 6 months or so before that knee really starts feeling normal again.

I have seen my gp and having the left knee and hip X-rayed tomorrow!
She thinks i may well have oa in the hip and wants to see how much farther the left knee has deteriorated. Its never ending. X

@Jamie i really hope its just something that will go away. Its keeping me awake at night the hip and the left knee. I know i have oa in the left knee and both of my big toe joints as these have been diagnosed. The doctors think i have a hereditary degenerative cartilage problem. Something that only was thought about when the left knee was scoped a few years ago. Something to do the with the tear and how it was torn. Hoping its nothing with the hip. Overall my right knee is much better than it was. I definitely dont over do stuff. I know i am still early days. Fingers crossed the x ray is clear x

Good luck for tomorrow @chereb. It's strange how so many of us end up having the other one done eventually. My RTKR is suffering through the strain of the left.

Well thats the x ray done. Left knee and hip. Results to my GP in 7-10 days. We fly to Florida in 2 weeks so should find out before we go.

Spent a whole day with no pain in the shin and bottom of my leg..felt amazing.....then when i went out earlier it came back to remind me its not gone! Otherwise my rom seems to be the same although i have not done anything to stretch it lately. Too much going on at home and i think i am getting enough being on my feet and up and downstairs all day.
My 10 year old has her dance show which is 3 nights of standing/quickly changing costumes and quite a challenge under normal circumstances. Dreading how my knee is going to cope.

Xrays have come back confirming arthritis in the left hip which is worse than left knee. GP said i will have to consider surgery but live with it as long as i can. I intend to as i have had enough surgery for now.
So now have revision RTKR, right and left toe joints arthritic and left hip. The joys and im not even mid 40s yet lol.

On a high note im off on holiday on Friday for 23 nights. So going to put all this to the back of mind as much as the pain will allow.

7 miles we covered yesterday in one of the disney parks and i was in agony :-( The left hip and knee also joined in making it a very unpleasant day. I am so glad i thought out this vacation and didnt plan more than 2 park visits for the time we are here. Resting up to recover from yesterday at least by the pool in the Florida sunshine

I had to rent a "personal mobility vehicle" to make the park bearable. Unfortunately, we forgot to do it for the first park of the day, so I didn't really enjoy the second park even with the scooter.

Ouch! My daughter reserved a wheelchair for me when we visited a public garden for my Mother's Day treat. I walked some, pushed the wheelchair myself some and she pushed me some. Actually pretty fun and I even had enough energy and strength to drive home safely.

Resting by the pool sounds lovely, hope it does the trick for you.
 
I actually wish i had rented a scooter. It definitely would have made for a better night. I thought if we went at 4pm and we had 2 dining reservations that it would be ok lol. Knee is much better after a rest. Felt bad as we had to leave just before the firework show but i really just had to get home for pain killers.
