Fair enough! Go with what they are recommending. Trusting your surgeon is a big part of all this.Drs here in Central Fla will not do it.
How is your recovery going ? And did your doctors have you do pre op exercises ? I have read a lot about this and my OS Dr has said nothing about them. With my Trhr set for June 6th it would seem a little late if I needed to start now. I am trying to do leg exercises but the pain is so bad I do not get much done. Thanks for any thoughts and good luck on your recovery.I am post-op 13 days of RTHR. I am having left done at 4 month mark

I do like my surgeon I have my pre-op appt. on the 24 the of May. I just found out a month ago that I was needing a hip replacement. Long story but now at least I am on the road to less pain this will be my 18th surgery I will be bionic soon. lolHi...
My pain level is very low. I don't know why I have a high tolerance for pain. But in all honesty, it is more of a pressure feeling than pain most of the time. And that usually occurs after I have been on my leg too long.
It is never to late to start. I would just do what I could tolerate, even a little helps. I beghinning to understand parts in my leg. Tendons, muscles. So any little strengthen I could do the better. Remember it is the consistency of doing the exercise. If you are in pain, if 3 is all you can do, then do three everyday.
My doctor did not specifically mention it.I did do some water exercise classes. I think at that tome I was still trying to accept I was j having surgery.
I also need to say, my pain was manageable with extra strength Tylenol right up to the surgery and still is now.
Doctor found a bone spur
larger than the x-ray showed. He didn't understand why I wasn't in more pain.
Once the truest statement I read on this site.. the anticipation is 10x worst than the surgery.
Do you like your doctor, trust him or het?

Yes I am thinking if all goes well I will do within that time frame I am so ready the pain with both hips is just to much now.I'm am doing my left total hip on June 12 and hope to do the right 6-8 weeks later. Doing them within that time frame eliminates having to repeat some of the pre-surgery checkups, EKG, etc.
Wow doesn't sound like you were in too much pain or you have high tolerance. Glad your doing well and recovered quickly. How long did you do rehab for?Oops.. sent to soon . Rthr on may 2, will do left in August. For me it is to stay in the same mind set. My recovery fortunately been with minimal pain. I am nowL.A.! walking most of the time without a cane. My thoughts are with you.
You are true fighter
