Hi Everyone,
Most people talk about pain, but don't usually define it. I'm curious to know what type of pain people have and under what circumstances, and if different pains are indicative of different healing processes and/or problems with different muscles. For myself, a dull ache in the groin area and still some slight knee pain is 'normal', but not continuous.
The real pain comes if I come close to crossing the midline (I'm 3 weeks after a RTHR), go above 90 degrees, or if I inwardly rotate my leg, or if I catch my foot on a projection when walking: in all these cases the pain is very very intense, usually around the piriformis area and not of long duration. I'm wondering what experience you have.
Finally, if anyone has a 'most effective' exercise, that would be interesting to know.
Enjoy it all!
