SI Joint/some glute pain anyone else?

DeepSeaGoddess

Background, I’ve been a runner for > 10 years…..marathon runner for > 5 years.  Earlier this year after suffering from joint pain that severely impacted my runs, diagnosed with severe arthritis in my left hip, I had anterior hip replacement.   It’s been 14 weeks now.

I started PT at week 3.  It started slow and then, of course built up from there.  The PT made my PT different than most hip replacement patients as she knew my goals to get back to running.

I have been going back to spin classes 3-4 times a week since about week 6 or 7.   I’ve tried to run twice both of which were very rough.  The joint pain is gone but, I’ve been suffering since about week 4 with SI joint pain with pelvic rotation in that hip as well as some glute pain off and on.   I researched online and found many stretches and exercises that I do for it but, it still comes back nagging almost every day.  It’s frustrating.

Anyway else have this type pain after surgery and during recovery?

      Yes! I experienced it! Your body is adjusting to the new hip and overcompensating for it during this recovery process. Continue the PT and don’t overdo it. You are on the hips schedule now. Listen to the hip. It (or surrounding parts) will bark at you when it is time to take a break. Doesn’t last forever. Your hip will get stronger and this issue should fade.

      Yes I’ve had glute issues and soreness in my groin area and had a couple of long stretches where I couldn’t run. I’ve found that being consistent with with stretching, flexibility and strength training, even if it’s just 10 minutes 4 times a week which is what I do, it helps with your running. As Tom said, you still have to listen to your body and make sure you run plenty of easy miles and you’ll be back to running marathons. Good luck on your recovery.
