Hi I am now nearly 9 weeks post op of thr , right hip, I shall return to my teaching duties on the 8th of March here in the uk, mobility is great, stairs, up, down great, toilet not raised, no walking aids required now(but) still have a tightness in groin to top of pelvis but that's muscle related, exercising regular, energy levels exhausted quickly as expected, but as mentioned earlier for the past two days my scar has become reden at the top and the bottom, very sore, forcing me to use my stick again and reverting to pain killers again, strong ones, I suspect it is NOT infected, and I have been wearing loose track suit bottoms all the time, it feels like I have been smacked and have constant reaction and constant soreness, any advice of what is happening and advice to reduce all pain and soreness without pain killers help please.
