Hi. I just had one implant 16 months ago now. And its just been the past few months where ive felt mostly back to "normal" again. Ie im able to stretch right out again or lift heavy things without the weird twisting feeling. I have just recently started to be able to lie on the implant side in bed but not for a long time. It takes a while for the body to adjust. Around a year for me and i was pretty fit and active beforehand. Good luck. It sucks. I was always worrying should i do this oe that and my partner said the most helpful thing.... just go ahead and do whatever you want and if a problem crops up deal with it then. And now im feeling on top of the world. Hang in there. Youve been through a lot and good times are ahead!!!! X
