Tightness in hip

[ShopGal54]

I took a walk today, not too far and I started having tightness/stiffness in
the hip area and buttock area. Anyone else have this?? Also swelling
in the hip area, below incision is soft. ???????

Shopgal...remind me again how far out from surgery you are....

Hi Jamie, I am 8 months out. I haven't done real good with my exercises either. :(

Ahhhhh.....then I think you know the answer. You need to work on those muscles. The walking is good as well as some stretching exercises. Just start really slow and be consistent. Things tend to tighten up if you don't work on them during recovery.

Check out this link for information on the IT Band. It may be at least part of your problem.

far enough out to do those.
Thanks again.

I love cardio exercise, the other not so much. but it is truly necessary. At 8 months you are far enough out to do any exercise, except running or other pounding
Good luck

Jamie was right. Too much exercise is not good but so is not enough!
