1. Physical Therapy
2. ouch that must have really hurt. I suggest talking to a specialist that deals with rehabilitation in that area.
3. You should ask for a referral to physical therapy from your doctor. They are specialists in teaching you exercises that will not cause additional harm/injury while achieving the goals that you desire.
4. First you must CONVICT yourself to a daily regimine of "life saving" nutrients and supplements...the more the merrier. Second you must have water therapy....water leaves us weightless to a degree that allows easier movement without pain. You will be able to stretch a little more and more as you go. If you don't have easy access to a swimming pool....get one. OR MOVE. You must DO THIS to recover. Then, with these two basics in STRONG place, you must know exactly WHAT movements can "harm" your corrective surgery and what DON'T and DOOOOOOOOO all that you can. No sitting still. There are also rehabilitive guides to HOW to bend and such without using the parts of your body that "wear out" easily.....GET THEM. This is a must. INACTIVITY for any length of time can and usually WILL lead to other physical problems. Change your life and committ yourself to HAVING A LONG ONE the right way. Blessings in your quest........ Bunny7
