Almost 6 Weeks

Six weeks ago I didn't know that I would be where I am right now. I am walking--a lot of times without a noticeable limp. I have stopped taking hydrocodone, but it's hard to manage my pain with just extra strength tylenol. It could just be because I'm up moving so much, probably more than I should be. Monday is probably going to be my last day of physical therapy (I've only gone 3 times) and I go back to see Dr. Scheid on Thursday morning. I want to find out while I'm there when I can start working out heavy duty again and if I should be worried about all the extra pain I'm having in my hip now. I thought at first it was just from starting to walk again and limping funny, but the pain keeps getting worse and actually kept me awake last night. It's like a dull ache starting in the front of my hip and radiating around the side and back. I didn't have a labral tear when I had an MRI in December, but I'm worried I tore something through all this surgery recovery for my knee. I hope that's not the case because I am ready to be free of pain. Hopefully I will only have good news this Thursday.
