I had a THR on June 3rd. Prior to surgery I had severe pain in my lower leg which kept me out of work and from my normal activities. My surgeon said it was due to the compensation from the bad hip. (My surgery was delayed several months due to COVID)
The THR was a success. I was released the same day and walking unassisted at 2 1/2 weeks. I’ve been told best therapy for my hip is walking. The deep aching pain in my shin is preventing me from doing just that. What should I do? My surgeon is not big on PT before 4-6 weeks post op. I’m so distressed and frustrated. Thank you so much.
