    Well here we are 5years since I was last on this website after left hip replacement. And I’m 3 weeks post surgery for right hip replacement. I came back on to read my messages from 5 years ago and remind myself on the progress I made then and to compare that to now. I think I’m about the same...

    Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I’m going to stop the exercises for now and suggest a deep massage to the PT. really hopeful that this pain gets better. I forgot to say that during full lockdown I gained 10 pounds. Maybe my new hip doesn’t like this . I’m trying my best to lose this...

    Hi. It’s been over seven months and I’m still very glad to have had the op at the beginning of the year. I feel sad for folks who had their operations cancelled at the last minute. All was going very very well for me until about 5 weeks ago. I had been walking up to 5 miles at a time, 3 times...

    THR My recovery

    @longtimechemist . Great update. Good to hear about your return to swimming. I used to swim a lot until my hip got too sore but I plan to return soon. OS advised against breast stroke legs but I couldn’t do that before the op and had retrained my legs. BoneSmart has been full of great...

    @Elf1 @VSlowLife @SurreyGirl @Lilli215 thank you so much for your advice on the bath. I have waited this long and can wait some more. I tried a dry run and could climb in and kneel down. Didn’t put my butt on my heels though as my knee felt a bit tight...and didn’t want to try to sit down...
