@Christi96463830 @luxurytax8 Have you tried massaging your incision with vitamin E oil (or something similar)? That can get it to loosen up and keep adhesions from forming.

@teaseltail I agree that it was probably too much walking for you right now. Especially without the crutch. I understand wanting to be rid of it, but it's a tool to help you improve your gait. It's a good idea to continue using it until you can walk well without it.

@teaseltail Oh! I must have misread that earlier. I'm so sorry. I thought it was 6 months.

@teaseltail Hamstring tightness also causes an error in your gait that creates painful repetitive stress injuries. It's not about walking too far; there are people who walk or run marathons after #HipReplacement. It's about walking with an incorrect gait. Physio can remedy that.

@teaseltail You previously mentioned difficulty with shoes. That indicates to me that you have tight hamstring muscles in the back of your thigh. This is very common after #HipReplacement. That tightness is reflected from the thigh, through your calf, and into your foot.

@teaseltail That may be another problem. If you're wearing old shoes, they will have wear patterns related to your gait prior to #HipReplacement. You may want to consider new shoes to support your new hip.

@teaseltail Distance shouldn't be a problem, if you are walking with a good gait. If there is an error in your gait, that can cause strain in your feet, ankles, and knees. Have you had any physio at all?

@teaseltail There are stretches you can do to help your foot. You may also benefit from gait training so that plantar fasciitis doesn't become a chronic problem for you.

@teaseltail Okay. That is definitely something that the Jamie can help with. I'll let her know to expect to hear from you.

@teaseltail That pain sounds like plantar fasciitis. Would you like to Google that and let me know what you think? You could also ask that question on the #BoneSmart forum. I know people there have discussed experiencing that after #HipReplacement. bonesmart.org/forum
