9 Month post THR

paulbillups

I am 9 months post THR via the Anterior method.  I am just curious if it is still normal at this stage to have some muscle pain in the rectus femoris and Piriformis?  Sometime when I wake in the morning I am hunched over like I have pelvic tilt, and I am so ready for this to be over with.  Thanks in advance.

      Hi Paul,

      After 9 months, that doesn’t seem normal. When was the last time you checked in with your doc? I think PT might be in order. I was back to running after 3 months. 9 months just does not seem right. It sounds like it is muscle related. I would recommend that you check in with your doc and ask for a prescription for some PT.

      Hip Brother Tom,
      I am in that same train of thought. I have been working the core and strengthening the legs. Everything else they did during my recovery, is too easy now. I think it is muscle weakness. Been doing a lot of research on this. Doesn’t seem to hurt as much after a long strenuous bike ride, so I think I am onto something here.
