Hi, everyone, THR 1/7, Anterior approach. Recovery has been good, completely different and so much better than TKR. (Except I miss the PT part; living in a rural area, it encouraged me to move with the knee, the same surgeon who did my knee is holding me off for another 2 week evaluation.)
I've read some of the recovery threads, folks walking and running at two weeks? My surgeon demanded 4 weeks on the walker, and I'm so ok with that. My hip/knee replacement leg can't hold a can of beans.
But my question is, two and a half weeks in I suddenly have soreness in my butt like I fell on it, my thigh is so sensitive right next to the surgery site, like tender, burning senstation, nerves, I know. But the butt cheek pain, and the new: groin pain. Moving the leg forward pain. Icing is difficult.
Is this all just normal for an older female, Anterior approach THR? Thanks.
