Hi everyone!
I will be 3wk post op Wednesday and the first two weeks were very hard. This week has been much better. I have seen a large decrease in pain in the back area, I am moving much better and doing a few thing. Although the simplest things drain my energy. Since my surgery both my hips have been numb. its a weird feeling because its numb to the touch but also almost a burning type of pain when I rub them but this hasn't been a major problem as I was told this is common with bone graft sites and should inprove over time.
But the last day or so my right hip has been causing me some major pain...I was in agony at one point. My back pain has all but disappeared (I am still taking pain meds so lets just say they are working well) but the pain meds have done almost nothing for the hip pain. It has gotten better in some moment but it is constantly there to some degree. Walking is more pain than it has been in the days pass. Maybe I have been doing to much and it is just getting to me...but it worries me a bit. Has anyone else been though this type of pain..Is it normal?
