    No but there is a difference when I do not walk a lot. The pain is much less, but 6 months out, I would think that I would be able to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes.

    LTHR Sept.2,2015 Still healing, and dealing with inner thigh pain which radiates to my knee. I walk and do some gentle stretches. Pain is mostly at night, and I still ice when it is bad. I am really hoping this will resolve itself in time. Debdi45

    THR Great to be here on the recovery side!!!

    Mine was due to severe osteoarthritis. Not sure exactly why that happens. I do know that I had no cartilage on one side which means bone on bone. This site was extremely helpful for me. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Congrats on your new hip. I came home with the wedge cushion, hated it, very uncomfortable. Home pt suggested a rolled up towel because I could not move the operated leg to do any restricted position. Worked much better! My femur was starting to collapse also, intensified the pain. Sent from...

    Almost 11 weeks and getting a bit discouraged.... I guess I am expecting the stiffness, soreness in my thigh, upper leg and incision site to be completely gone by now. I wake up every day to be completely pain free and I am not. Nothing like the arthritic pain but still uncomfortable. I know...

    THR What did I do?

    10 days post op, I had the stabbing pain when I walked except mine was in my glute. OS said it was part of the healing process. Cut down on PT and had PT to gentle massage. Took a week or two, and it subsided. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum
