Yesterday was the 11th week since my operation. The movement in the knee is still improving although frustratingly slow progress with some days much better than others. This week I have been aware of a dull ache in the left hip after getting lower back pain when I bent over weeding in the garden. I have arranged another session with my physiotherapist for this coming Friday.
Almost every day I continue with my exercises and sessions on our home spin bike. I can now walk the dogs down the beach for a couple of miles without any problems although my fitness levels are still well below what I would like. I try to walk quickly varying the pace so that I can raise my heart rate, things are getting better.
Still finding walking downstairs at times a bit of a challenge but after exercising it does seem to be easier. The left leg swelling seem to occur if I stand and don't move very much but when I am walking it doesn't seem to swell.
