I feel your pain. Literally. I am past the horrible part of my surgery, but still sitting much of the time -- mine was knee, not hip. I went months of my doctor telling me I just had a pulled hamstring, then changed to IT band issues..I wasn't convinced and finally got an MRI approved by insurance. A torn meniscus, right off the root and medial. Ortho surgeon was great -- (undergrad degree in mechanical engineering and also an athlete). She drilled holes in my tibia and attached things where they belong. As long as I follow all orders, this should heal and I will avoid a knee replacement. I am on week 4, thigh to ankle immobilization brace. Yesterday was my first weight bearing day. 8 more weeks of the brace locked in full extension (except allowed to unlock when I sit, but can't bend past 90 degrees). I am lucky that I work at a university that has our local medical center branch PT for the student athletes and I can go there. If they can get the student athletes back on the field, I think they can get me back up. I've never followed doctor's orders so faithfully before!
Good thoughts for your healing
