I'm really curious. With a tenectomy, they reattach it at a different point other than it's origin so that there's regained/modified functionality, correct? How are the spasms managed during the healing process. In a THR, I would teach patients to be aware of minding hip precautions. With spasms how do/did you do it? A type of immobilization? Meds for spasticity? Bless your heart, I cannot imagine what you had to endure for that time. Wishing you continued recovery...
