How long did you stay out of work? I had planned to go back after a week to 2 weeks, but am a little concerned because I won't get any assistance.....wondering if I should take on a more "selfish" route to recovery and stay out longer..
Also developed swelling in the foot 8 days after surgery....did you experience this?
I have completely torn gluteus medius and minimus tendons. I'm a 67 yr old woman who loves tennis and physical activity. Do you know anyone in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Fl area who does this repair?
Hello!
For complete recovery for walking without any support you would need 6 months.
Surgical pain decreases after a month and some pain will be present with movement till 3 months. You can take intermittent NSAIDs.
The most important thing for you though is to maintain complete hygiene and avoid infections.
Take care!
