Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Dear Friends I am wondering if others experience these types of post surgery pains. I am 3 1/2 months post resurf surrey and feel hip pain in the following situations: -when exercising: coming out of horizontal leg raises from a side lying position; as i release the butt muscle which raised the leg i get a lot of pain -fully weighting my operated hip,when i have correct body alignment (which compresses my hip joint) also i my hip flexor muscle(muscle which raises the thigh) feels ropey and seems to twang/make lateral movements when raising leg from standing position My phy therapist says this is pain from a very weak a deteriorated butt muscle and should get better. My butt muscle had gotten noticeably smaller from favoring it due to my deteriorated hip joint. It is now difficult to exercise and walk with good alignment/posture due to this pain She says it could take 9-12 months before i lose my bad limp I was limping pretty bad before the surgery My post surgery protocol had me fully weight bearing at 3 months Thank you for your feedback and experiences and comments Dr. Mont 3/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
