Hello! I’m going to reach out to my surgeons office Monday and I want to check in with the community…
Has anyone had swelling after their PT?
I’m 24 days post-op anterior THR and doing great with walking and gaining more ROM each day. I do my PT exercises every other day and have had no issues, just typical next day post-exercise soreness.
My PT exercises are really focusing on strengthening my right hip flexor.
I’m learning to lift my leg from a prone position lol an absolutely humbling experience!
Today was the first time I’ve ever noticed swelling after doing my exercises (the day after).
There is no heat or pain in the swollen area (the swollen area is right above the hip flexor), it’s just swollen.
I’ve iced, elevated and the swelling has greatly decreased yet there is still a little swelling in the area. My glute/upper hip muscles feel tight, like I’ve been working them and they need a good stretch.
Thoughts??
Thanks!
