I am 55 and had a complete hip replacement in early February. I was very active prior to surgery, in spite of the discomfort, and am amazed at how quickly my recovery has progressed.
5 weeks after my surgery I was walking upto 3 miles. 8 weeks after I hiked a 4,000 ft peak. 12 weeks out I'm back to road biking and I've climbed a 6,200 ft peak.
At this point, I seemed to have regained most of my strength in the old leg.
I also should mention that I returned to the gym for physical therapy and light workouts 10 days aft my surgery.
Has anyone else had a simliar experience?
