I had hip surgery because of a fall and had total hip replacement in February. All went well. After rehab for 7 days I went to outside rehab for 2 months. I was doing well there and now I am experiencing knee pain and hip pain especially when I walk. I m limping and now my other leg feels sore and difficult to lift. I m doling exercises as I was in rehab and also going to a gym and using the bicycle for 20 minutes. My lower back is hurting also and when I sit more than 15 minutes I cannot just get up and walk. I have to almost stand for almost a minute before I can move forward. I don t use a cane. I m 83 years old, and had knee replacement 11 years ago on same leg as hip replacement.
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion you will need screening, of your joints and spine, maybe you are having degeneration changes there also. Your age is prone to arthritis. But I would like to congratulate on leading an active life at 83 years. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
