aha went to physio yesterday told him about my problem. before my op i had a rope made for my stair wall so i had grips on either side to hold on to whilst climbing thought it was a good idea, no no big mistake he pointed out i was probably pulling myself up the stairs and leaning to go down which is absolutely correct. He recommended i start walking up and down without using any rails, and its probably due to a trapped/tight nerve which will get better in time if i start walking down stairs normally, so thats what I've been doing along with some new stretching exercises feel better already. Thank you to my physio
