5 months

Things still going extremely well on the hip front.

Left hip is five months post-op and gaining strength and mobility. I am regularly working long shifts on my feet, going to the gym and walking my dog......living life again!! I have pain and catching in the front of my hip which I am pretty sure is Psoas tendonitis and something I dealt with for a couple of years following my R PAO. I will discuss this at my 6 month follow-up in February, and hopefully a cortisone injection might help if it doesnt settle on its own. The right hip, at almost 3 years post-op has improved enormously following the surgery on the left, so perhaps I was over-compensating more than I realised. I am happy to report that I finally never have to think about the right hip at all, and don't feel as if there has ever been a problem on that side. The knee still gives my some pain on the right, which I am sure is down to it not tracking correctly because my quads are still weak-so working at that at the gym.

Will post again following my check-up in February, hoping to be given the all-clear to add impact to my workouts then.
