Discomfort In Gluteal Area, Weak Leg. Had Hip Replacement Surgery. Taking Nsaid
I had hip replacement 3 months ago (anterior). I just turned 70 , female' retired RN and am in good physical shape and was very active. I still have discomfort in the gluteal area (it was much worse, with burning, etc.) but that has subsided. I am still taking 2-6 nsaid a day and my right leg is still somewhat weak. I have played golf 4 times but am worn out later...no stamina like I had before. I walk ok but feel like I am dragging my leg although it is not obvious to any one else.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. After a massive surgery the body goes into stress and need time to recover especially in older ages. Take health supplements which gives you more energy. Try taking NSAIDS less and good food more. Hope it helped you. Thanks.
