OK - I feel like I'm asking a lot of questions lately! Sorry to be a pain....
No pun intended - but now I have a pain question. I am 41/2 weeks post op. I have been doing my walking schedule which is 2 walks a day working up to 30 minutes per walk, but it stared out with 10 and 15 minutes walks.
Everything was fine until about 2 or 3 days ago my right hip starting hurting really bad. I have had bursitis before (in my left hip before surgery) so I know what it feels like. This pain feels the exact same, and the location on the hip is the same (except for now it is my right hip).
My husband said he remembers Dr. Perra mentioning that bursitis is common after this surgery, but I don't remember him talking about it.
Has anyone else had this type of hip pain this soon after surgery? Part of my surgery entailed him tilting my hips back to a normal position and he said it would be a 44 degree difference. I don't know if that's alot or not, but would that be causing this pain?
I can hardly put any weight on that leg when it is flaring and sitting is hard. Needless to say, it is messing with my walking which I know I need to do to heal! Ugh. It's always something!
Thanks again.
