billddrummer,
I had an anterior right hip replacement on 6/26/23.
I’m still going to PT once a week. I don’t necessarily think PT has caused any of my other problems- i have enough general aches and pains that its hard to tell.
I do feel that I’ve hit a wall, though. I quickly recovered from the surgery and was a star at PT. 90% recovered, but I can’t seem to get any further.
The limp that I have when I first get up from sitting doesn’t go completely away.
And, this dead zone in the thigh - does that ever go away? I am getting mixed reviews about that.
I didn’t answer your question, but i have seen other people on this site wonder if PT had caused them to have a setback - or worse - recently someone on Mayo said that over aggressive PT caused their implant to be damaged.
I’m three months out from THR and yesterday I went on my first nature/bird walk since the surgery. It was 2.5
miles. I did okay, should have taken a walking stick, main problem was that it was hot. Some of the wildlife was alligators if that gives you an idea of the temperature.
Best of luck to you in your recovery.
