5 months post op

Hi, I had a THR 5 months ago, recovery was good, (although it's not going up enough naturally I have to pull my leg up by my trousers) I can now put my sock on, cut my toe nails, wash and dry my foot myself, which to me is great.
The top front of my op leg feels a bit sore/uncomfortable and I also have soreness/discomfort in my buttock of my op leg.
I've used voltarol and Movelat on separate occasions twice daily for the past 4 weeks in case it was muscular and in the hopes it would help but it hasn't and also I've used a heat pack
Was wondering if anyone has experienced this post THR or have any ideas as to what it could be?

I don't remember this with either of my THRs and, really, the only people who can tell you the cause are the docs. For what it's worth, if you're having to pull your leg up manually, it sounds to me as if the leg muscles are not strong enough. How are you getting on with the quad exercises, especially the straight leg raises? Was there a point at which they became difficult? I do think your GP is your best bet for answers.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

The straight leg raises lying down are not too easy, it is quite uncomfortable.
I haven't been doing the exercises regularly
I wanted to ask on here first to see if anyone else had experienced it rather than go straight to the doctors
Seems like I'm going to have to go then
Thanks

I think if you've not been doing the straight leg raises that sounds to be the likely reason....and remedy but don't take any chances. Get it checked out properly.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

My GP is going to write to my consultant and take it from there

If something is troubling you. You are not wasting their time as you need some answers and the doctors are best suited to answer them. babsb0

Babsb is quite right. By trying to make this joint work properly you are wasting no-one's time. It's the best thing you can do.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
