6 weeks post op alif and still sore. what do i do?

More time: You should be on an improving trend. However, still being sore at 6 weeks would not be concerning. It takes time to heal from this procedure.

Wait & walk: If no fever, chills, sweats and no increased leg pain. Walk daily at least two miles and wait another six weeks. If pain increasing see your surgeon.
