I know you've already gotten lots of advice but when I began reading your thread, I had flashbacks of my different pains and also my over exuberant PT that I dropped.
Dont like this at all.
I had bilateral anterior THR and this is not needed.
Unfortunately, to a carpenter...everything looks like a nail. Same with some therapists.
Fix every complaint with a tool in their toolchest when in reality, your body will heal fine on it's own with just walking, lots of rest and ice.
Listen to your body and it will tell you what is helpful and what is not.
Early days my friend, and well worth a patient recovery to get back to a full, healthy hip-pain free life.
I love my cohorts phrase
When you are icing and elevating and watching telly you are not 'dossing around' you are 'engaging a carefully considered proactively designed heuristically programmed dynamically structured recovery programme'.

I had that burning stabbing pain and sort of panicked...in my recovery thread, I was frantically seeking answers and was reaassured... normal, normal!Here's the crux of the issue, originally when walking my stride was extremely limited because I had a very sharp (felt like muscle tearing) or (someone stabbing me with a knife) in the center of my quad about 3-4 inches below my incision
Ice and elevation is better...your leg is injured and healing and I dont think massaging it is helping.Last Wednesday my PT, as they always do, massaged my glute and quad area, primarily where the acute swelling still exists.
The one thing I DO agree with your PT about. Time will be the best healer...and not overdoing anything at this point...including PT.At the following session last Friday I told my therapist about the increase in pain I'd experienced which she attributed to general healing, trauma from surgery, i.e. soft tissue agitation that the surgeon told me about as a result of surgery, using muscles correctly that I haven't been using correctly for a long time and general muscle soreness that comes along with PT.
No, no, no.Continuing on with my session my PT did the same thing, i.e. worked me out, added a couple of minor flexion exercises btw like walking over cones frontwards and sideways, but also hopped on the bed and actively stretched my leg backward toward the rear increasing my range of mobility.
