Hip Scope Recovery ~ 11 Weeks
ByAnother successful physio session this morning. My strength and ROM continue to improve.
My back continues to give me problems and was pretty sore for a couple of days following my last visit and massage. Have been told this is quite normal. On checking it today it is rather stiff. My whole pelvis wants to move when stretching rather than the back arching so we have added in some stretches to help loosen things up.
I am allowed to slowly increase my cycling, using comfort as a guide, but starting with about a minute, YAY! I have some more exercise progressions which I will scan onto here later.
My six (11) week post op appointment is on Wednesday at 3pm. I have been trying to call to get an earlier appointment as I start work at 4, but the office is still closed for their Christmas holiday! I have a list of questions from my physio and we are hoping to get the go-ahead for a gym/pool based program.
Work is going well. Nothing tricky so far. I am still part time this week, am working the weekend then am back to almost normal hours next week.
Also have stopped taking anti inflammatories again and have not taken any pain ‘lollies’ this week

Hi Jessica,
Post-op experience for me, re bike riding – pop seat right up, and turn your bars around (they will look funny) so that drops are in fact above. This lowers the angle of flexion needed for those precious moments you get on the bike. Good Luck
