Hello,
Seeking some general input, advice, experiences.
I'm a 52yo male and I had my right hip joint replaced about 16 months ago Aug 2017, new ball & socket installed via the anterior (front side) approach.
Had a moderate recovery, went through PT, now using active stretching yoga and have complete range of motion back.
My constant issue is the tendons surrounding the joint don't seem to want to fully heal and cause me pain.
At the sixth month check up I complained so much that I was provided a cortisone shot. The procedure was done using a hand held ultrasound where the comment was made that there was obvious inflammation of the iliopsoas.
So what are my options for recovery, healing of the tendon(s) and hip flexors. Desperately seeking pain relief.
Am I doing more harm to myself with the stretching yoga ?
I have much confusion on how to proceed for the kinds of recovery methods.
I have used many types of supp's to help alleviate the inflammation / soreness and aide recovery from fish oil, krill oil, alfalfa, boswellia extract, vit. E and several "joint" remedies. I've experimented with peptides; BPC-157, Hex, IPA, CJC-1295, TB-500. I don't use advill or nsaids on a regular basis cause I fear the effects on my liver and stomach.
Looking forward to any comments
Thanks
