] THR Post-Surgery Questions

[Guest guest]

I am not a little over 7 weeks post-op for RTHR and have been struggling some due to a definite difference in leg length. My doctor had warned me it was possible. At my 6 weeks appt, he said my leg wasn't really longer (per x-ray) but my pelvis was tilted. I am also nursing along a bad left-knee that once I've healed enough from the THR I will be having a partial knee replacement.

My PT is using some relaxation and stretching exercises in hopes of correcting the pelvis. Anyone have any experience with this?

Any info as always is appreciated!

Lisel - good luck - the pain post-op for me was nothing compared to pre-op so I have felt MUCH better ever since!
