Strengthening and toning can come later.
Let's meet those legs get well...I always say legs because my hips for the most part were good, just everything else was hurting...
Not,necessary, that PT
Give it some rest now.
 
Listen to people and rest. You’ve come an amazing way. Remember Josephine says stiffness is pain, a sign for us to slow down.
 
Hi @Berber7227
I hope things are looking up for you today.
You've been such an inspiration, it's hard to see you down and out.
You've had a couple of rough days physically and emotionally.
I hope today finds you feeling better after icing and some rest.
Wishing you a peaceful relaxing day :flwrysmile:
 
I have had chronic pain in the past. One of the reasons my hips got so bad. Did not realise it was real pain! No clue what I have now. Muscles are not stiff, in fact I am walking much better after PT. Just in lots of pain. Have 15 min Dr appt Wens
 
I hope you feel better soon. It's good that you're walking better but constant pain can be so wearing.
 
So sorry to hear of the pain. Try to rest and not overdo. You are just a little over three weeks out. I still experienced pain at that point and only had one hip done. Remember to ice, elevate and take something for the pain.
 
Maybe it's just a two steps forward, one step back thing? How frustrating for you! Sending you hugs!!!! I have so much admiration for your double hip courage!!!! Let me add more exclamation marks just so you really know how I feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heehee:
 
Poor @Berber7227 I feel so bad for you!
I'm thinking it has to be from PT only because it initially started after that......right?
I understand you're walking better since PT.... but it still seems you overdid it in some way.
Please consider tagging Josephine if interested.
That's if you wouldn't mind answering any questions she may have.....it's up to you.
Wednesday is a long time to wait for answers if you're really miserable.
Your meds, rest and ice is probably the best you can do.
Best wishes your pain eases soon.
 
Yeah! Finally have internet!! No internet, no TV! So bored I have been cleaning out cook books, drawers.....

Have not done any exercises since PT on Thursday. Go back tomorrow. No more pain meds! If they do not give me more, there will be no PT. Will see what tomorrow brings.
 
Thing 1 and Thing 2 say "We really don't need the PT. We need a break, and not like the one we got LESS than one month ago"
Big surgery, dear Berber.
Please have a relaxing Sunday:friends:
 
You have no idea how much this site has meant to me. Thank you for all the support and encouragement. You have made the journey so much easier. Even more so as I am "home alone" !!!!
 
Today is finish cleaning out garage day. First snow last night. I am so afraid of falling on ice and snow. So house to garage and car will keep me safer! I have been downsizing. The garage was my sorting area. Just a few more heavy things and I am set to go. I have been putting items on blankets and pulling. I was hoping lifting would be easier, not yet! Lifting and carrying, was what did me in before surgery
 
Hi @Berber7227 I've been away for a bit - stuff to sort out and now just catching up with posts. Seems like you had your fair share of good days and bad days recently. Hope today is a good day! Progress seems to come in little short burst now and then. At the moment I'm just glad I can out for a walk before the snow is back, and hopefully can get to a Christmas Lunch with some friends tomorrow. Gonna play safe though and take 2 crutches instead of the one walking stick I'm now using. Glad to hear you've been downsizing - I just love clearing stuff out - but you be careful with that lifting and carrying.
 
@Tomgirl have lived in house for 25 years, going from 3 bedroom house to one bedroom apartment. Goodwill Loves me!!!
 
Wow I can't believe you are tackling stuff like that so soon. Be careful with those new hips! I am a little jealous as I have been on a "purging" streak too but am taking a break while I heal up. It does feel so good to get rid of unused stuff. I've been giving things to neighbors and local non-profits if it's usable.

Have been home since Thursday, with no I internet, which means no TV. Was bored so cleaning. Also want to donate as much as I can this year for tax purposes. Only a few weeks left and lots of time! Have a truck lined up after Xmas!!!
Binge watching The Crown?
