    Hip Resurfacing April 21 - finally getting a repaired hip

    Hi Adam, great that you're doing so well. I had my left hip resurfaced 4/25/17 and my right hip 6/12/17. I kind of pussed out on running until January this year. I was still 'aware' of my new hips but decided it was time to go for it. Great call - since I started running again my hips are...

    Hip Resurfacing Calf pain when first rising

    Hi, I had a couple of BHRs this year but didn't experience any calf discomfort or color changes in my feet. I did get some discomfort in my thighs and knees when I started to walk but this eased off after about 6 weeks. I agree with Layla - you may want to get some pro advice if only for...

    THR Losing sleep over my husbands surgery

    Looks like your hubby's a young guy who listens to his body. I'm guessing that at 66 I'm a lot older than him but I was walking unaided within days of my hip resurfacings and was back in the gym within a couple of weeks. We're all different when it comes to healing. With your support I'm sure...

    It's now 7 weeks since my left hip resurfacing so I had one week free of restrictions aside from no running for six months. So last week I could manage my shoes and socks and do most things like a normal person. Now I'm back in Seattle. Yesterday my right hip was resurfaced but this time I...

    New thread or continue?

    A style / user convenience question: I created a thread to document my left hip BHR recovery. I'm having the right hip resurfaced June 12th. Is it better to continue / re title my current thread or start a new right hip thread? I'm inclined to continue the current thread unless you folks prefer...

    THR Walking at 3 hours without crutches/pain

    G'day flyski I'm having a quick recovery but I'm a runner and had a resurfacing rather than a replacement. Obviously being extremely fit pre-surgery makes an enormous difference. You're right about the hospital folks blowing gaskets when you don't use the crutches I had that during my...

    Decisions before hip surgery- Help!

    Can't comment on THR but I love to run and want to continue so I opted for BHR (resurfacing). Had my left hip done last month - delighted. Right hip next month. My doc is James Pritchett in Seattle who is also an innovator in resurfacing for small women who can have issues with regular BHR...
