Yes but happened when at about 3 months pain finally left and for first time I could sleep. Didn’t take hardly any narcotics post op cause it didn’t really help. At about 4 months took steps backwards and was in tears. Therapist told me it was normal and that it would get better. Talked with a few others who had had the surgery they said it happened to them too! With a good therapist you will get there but it takes a lot of hard work on our part. I’m just 7 months post op and am doing well. I just have to do my exercises and stretches every single day! Keep up good communication with your therapist. They have the knowledge to fix so many issues we come across. I am trying to get my thighs strengthened. One day at a time.
