4 weeks + 3 days

Over the last two days Nick has sort of oscillated between no pain (yesterday) and a little buttock pain (today). He's not taking any painkillers or muscle relaxants, just the anti-inflammatories which were a 10 day course. Yesterday he said that, with the exception of bending forwards, he had no pain at all which he was absolutely delighted about. It's the first time in the last 15 months that he has been pain-free.

He's being very cautious about not over-doing it. He's doing the 1 week post-op exercises and a little walking, but that is all. This slight buttock pain (more a sort of ache) is annoying - we just can't work out what triggers it. Although it doesn't worry him hugely, I can see that it niggles at him. Oh well, just have to be patient I guess.

He does seem to be sleeping again OK now which is a relief as I am sure being exhausted can't help with coping with it all.
