Hello, @ktgirl Like you, I get impatient and want progress to go more quickly than my body allows for. The fatigue after surgery takes awhile and then you mention RA and meds which you said contribute to how you feel. I had two major surgeries in 2019. I had a hysterectomy (endometrial cancer) and then a total hip replacement. I injured myself by pushing too hard and that set me back. I didn't keep up with the stretching and exercises and once I decided it was worth it to go back to PT, followed by working with a personal trainer I began to see and feel the progress. It's a hard earned lesson to remind ourselves that nope, I'm not 21 anymore (I'm 69) and my body needs more healing time. Listen to my body. Can you request PT from your doctors? A PT I saw at Mayo Clinic suggested stretching that were yoga-based and very helpful. I still do them. I'm wishing you blessings as you move forward and hope the fatigue will continue to dissipate over time.
