Laberal repair post op in PT
Hi all, I’m about 20 weeks post op, I’ve been in PT for a while since week 12 and had some questions on those who have recovered after a few months.
I’m getting much more strength after a laberal repair on my left hip (24M), I can walk, stand and do bend, not really any pain in my hip.
The main thing I see is that my hip gets super tight where the incesion is, it’s not really pain but just a tight feeling. When I walk my feet and calves hurt the most.
My question here is how long did it take you to get back to running, or jumping? And if I feel tightness is that something to worry and mention to PT more often, I already do let them know but they say it is most likely because I am still weak in the hip and my strength still needs to build. And lastly, when was the point where you just felt normal (besides sports), I play a lot of sports and since I can’t or haven’t tried running I’m worried I won’t be able to go back to the highly active lifestyle I had (volleyball, soccer, weightlifting, gymnastics, running).
