“Surgeon didn’t give me any help “
I think there is a misconception about what surgeons do . They operate ! Make sure your joints are moving correctly and that’s it . Your family dr and mostly physical therapist is there for the rest 🤷🏻‍♀️
My surgeon asked if I’d work hard through the pain ? Before she operated .. I don’t expect more from her now

I totally agree that a surgeon operates. So be sure and choose an excellent one who has done many surgeries and knows what they are doing, the rest is up to you and your PT. Two months out from the surgery, I have been in PT for 3 1/2 months. My last day is next week and I think I am ready as I can now walk without the cane or walker.
