Thigh pain nearly gone. I stopped the home p/t day before yesterday and so far groin pain very much diminished. I google a lot. There’s so much info out there and I find that there are answers to mostly all my questions. When I first got home from the hospital the home health care worker told me that I was responsible for my recovery. The surgeon did his job and the test was up to me. For almost 4 months I did not miss one day of home p/t. I am now mostly walking on the treadmill and a bit outside. I’m definitely improving.

In addition I had chronic pain for years. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night with severe pain. For that alone I am grateful. Chronic pain is all consuming. It ruled my life. I’d get up in the morning and wonder how I was going to get through the day. All I am allowed to take for pain is acetaminophen. Ibuprofen is out of the question as I am on a blood thinner for life. I’ve cut down on the acetaminophen nearly 50 percent.
