Manda There are several things that could be causing your pain and stiffness. Your next move should be to see your doctor (surgeon) and have things checked out. Don't try to self-treat with exercises. Some of the things that could be causing your discomfort will not be resolved with exercises alone.
See your surgeon. I would definately direct these questions to your Dr. as these should not be answered by any ole lay person. I am a nurse and I'm not comfortable answering this question! |
