Oh well, it's better > than it was....but if makes putting on your skivvies tough. =) I wonder if part of the reason you feel this way is that your pain was so intermittent and indeed has pretty much disappeared the couple of weeks before your operation. I'm sure once you're cleared to do some stretching and serious ROM work, it'll come back like gangbusters. My situation was quite different: I was heading downhill fast that last couple of months, so even though I feel pretty weak and wimpy my ROM is definitely better than it was that last month or two before surgery. I can hardly wait until I'm cleared for PT. My chair is right beside my stationary bike - you have no idea how hard it's been to resist the temptation just to *try* it for a few minutes.
