Pain in the ...psoas for Tuck-San

[Guest guest]

Des,

- Am I correct that the psoas is important for lifting the knee up

high, especially while stretching the leg?

Is your psoas pain a sharp pain at the top of the thigh, in the fold

near the belly, deep, under the quad?

Do you know a reason why the psoas took so much longer than the other

muscles to get back to normal(if indeed that was the case)?

I read in an article on http://www.totaljoints.info/ that the psoas

tendon runs so close the hip joint that a small protrusion

(prosthesis) could cause irritation although it was rare. It seemed

certainly possible that the psoas would be traumatized by the surgery.

- Like Cindy, I would be interested to know about the spine

stretching exercises that helped you so much.

Have a enjoyable trip.
