Soft Tissue Question

Ken

Hello fellow hipsters,

I noticed within the last week or so that the soft tissue around my incision has felt like it’s a little swollen. I don’t have any pain before, during or after. Surgery was October 2019. It’s been extremely cold in northwest Ohio the past week, and am wondering if the extreme cold is affecting the soft tissue, or if I’m just being paranoid that there’s something more going on. Any thoughts? I never run two days in a row, don’t run more than 4 miles, and very seldom on hard surfaces.

I’m 66 and call my running “the old man shuffle”. Which is 10-10:30 min/mile.

Thanks,

Ken

      Hey Ken I grew up in Northwest Ohio so can relate to those cold winters! I’m now in Florida 😉
      I am no doctor, but given the amount of time that has passed since surgery, hard to believe it would have anything to do with your surgery. And nothing wrong with 10 minute miles… Commendable and much more than an old man shuffle!

      Yes. Have it looked at if concerned. However, my hip was placed out away from the body about an inch farther out (maybe not quite that much?) so to handle more wear and tear. But the issue is that the incision is like a rubber band that snaps over the prosthetic when I am tighter from running….or bend a certain way.

      Also, for awhile I found a short-term burning sensation after a decent-length run, because of the rubbing over the prosthetic. I believe it has now gone away…..anything ring familiar there??
