Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hi Guys, I've been trying to be good and not write all the time, but 6 weeks is a " big " watermark, so I'm checking in. I figure I'm about 80% on the strength, but only 60 percent on flexibility (using the non-op leg for comparison.) I still struggle with flexion, and can barely achieve 90 degrees on my own. PT says don't sweat it. I'm Doing the bike at the gym, and weights (upper body only). I walk on and off all day at work so I'm not really worrying about getting enough walking in. I don't really have pain when I walk...but I do feel discomfort across the front of my hip, way deep inside as I try to walk without any compensating limp. It's going away slowly, so that's encouraging. I'm getting tight in my lower back, and really miss doing my " cross over " stretches where I cross my leg over my body and keep my shoulders on the floor. But I'm doing what I can. Any lower back stretching tips? All in all I'm doing ok. I seem to be a grow-plateau type healer. But I still feel like it will be a long time till I can tie a shoe in front of me. I'm looking forward to 3 days off to get some yard work done. C+ Amstutz 4-15-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
