    I have no pain whatsoever anymore, just stiffness in the musculature they had to cut through to get to the hip. I had an anterolateral approach. Is that what you had? Or direct anterior?

    And I am just the opposite.....I thought this would have been much harder! I expected to be using a walker for a month before transitioning to a cane, as opposed to it happening after only two weeks. The sleeping thing is getting old. Another part of my problem getting comfortable is that my...

    Greetings! Just when I started regretting having my left THR I found this forum. I now believe there is hope for me after all. My surgery was 10 Oct, so just under two weeks. It’s a bit different here in the States (Florida) ..... I was made to attempt to get out of bed with a walker about...
