So nearly time to see the consultant, and honestly it couldn’t come soon enough. The relentless pulling of the psoas it wearing me down. Though being poorly for the last week hasn’t helped either.

I’d love to know if it is the acetabular cup that’s rubbing on the tendon, and what could be done. I fear not much, as the smaller cup planned kept dislocating. Hence why I ended up with the second choice larger one, that was stable.

At least while I’m sore I can do basic Sun Salutations, as it doesn’t pull or tear it, unlike other exercises.

I wish I could say the week I had of barely moving helped rest it, but with sneezing, coughing I had no chance of it. I had to try and brace it with cushions each time I cough to prevent the worse pulls.

On this leg as it’s my DVT leg too, I got cramp and it’s left the calve swollen and the beginnings of varicose veins, the joys of dvt, being female, chubby, and peri- menopausal!! All this blood pooling can’t be helping the general well-being of the hip. Giving me a bit of a scare to be honest.

To help I’ve started wearing a compression stocking on that leg, increased drinking water, and I will mention it to the consultant as well. As the knee area is forever swelling too, and I have no idea why. Unless it’s due to post thrombotic syndrome, as the veins on one leg are shot.
