End of first full week PT
I can already see a difference. It is easier to move, less pain with movement, but still lurching when walking. I am very hopeful. Last week I did take pain meds 1 evening which was the first in weeks.
I still have to compensate when walking up stairs but that will take a little time

Week 1 of P/P PT
It is incredible how little muscle control I have in the right leg. Standing on the right leg and being able to hold in neutral is difficult.
In therapy I have been using the upright bike, shuttle for grav diminished WB, steps, beginning band for ER, diagonal glut med walking and today will try the alter G Tmill
Overall I feel it is not bad but will be slow. Yesterday I woke with pain and it didn't get better and remains today just in front of the greater trochanter.
It is hard when you don't know if this is a normal pain to be encountered with strengthening or not a good thing as a result of wires or bone love to walk without a lurch but can only do that with the cane.
I did take pain medicine last night and did NOT sleep at all
