Went to my 8 weeks post-op check-up with the surgeon today. My x-rays look good. I told him about the sharp pain around the sacro-iliac joint that is interfereing with my walking, sitting, standing comfortably. It feels like that leg is also being pinched. He couldn't see anything in the x-ray to explain it. I asked about physical therapy and he thought it was too early yet, wants me to wait another 4 weeks.
So I am hoping that another month will help this heal up; I can barely walk. Had to borrow a wheelchair to go to my daughter's high school open house. The demerol does not touch the pain. Did anyone else have something like this after surgery that was resolved through time or PT?
