@burrkay It is so good to hear from you. I am not on here as much due to personal issues and I have been fostering a litter of kittens. They take a lot of time and one needs medication frequently. I am glad you are taking your time with healing and not rushing back to surgery. Scar tissue can cause issues after surgery. Have you heard of myofascial release therapy to stretch out the surgical scars including internal fascial scars? I have done a lot of this and it helped me a lot. There is a provider search at mfrtherapists.com and we have a good discussion on it that you can find in a search. In my own experience, stretching out the fascia and scar tissue releases restrictions and lets the tissue move better and improves circulation within tissues. I am glad you have your Mayo surgeon as a resource. I recently experienced leg weakness because my pelvic alignment was off. I was in PT and the therapist had pulled on my leg and I think that my femur wasn’t seated correctly in my hip joint. From there, it got weak enough that I couldn’t lift my leg much and it was painful and weak. I did a lot of stretching of everything connected to the legs and pelvis and when the muscles released the tension, my femur clunked back in where it belongs. Several weeks later with continued stretching, I am back to normal. Are you in rehab with a physical therapist?
