Anyone else’s lower back feeling really weak or easily pulled after THR?
I’m 2 months post-right THR and 5 months post-left THR (earlier this year also had a failed R hip labrum repair surgery), I know my muscles were deconditioned from not being able to do much and barely being able to walk, and therefore my lower back was weak before surgeries, but I was hoping the surgeries would improve it. Unfortunately they don’t really seem to have helped it too much and I can’t even do a single glute bridge or glute kickback without pulling my lower back (not just making it sore but fully pulling it). I am all for putting in the work and doing PT, but It’s hard to start strengthening my back when even one of the exercises that would help strengthening it throws it out. I’m working with my PT on this and he’s great but seems a little flummoxed too.
