    Hi everyone, I am 7 weeks post op and had been feeling great...walking better than ever and recently walking almost everywhere without a cane.

    Thank you so much @Nana757 I don't have any restrictions, but have found that having my body at the same level just creates pain in my groin and down into my knee. I also seem to be having some tenderness in the good leg, but that may be because I am working it so much harder (it is the one...

    Thank you @Elaine F. My post above details my progress thus far. The toughest thing for me is sleep, as I just cannot get comfortable on a bed.

    Hi everyone, well...it has been just over one month since my surgery and things are going pretty well. I am driving again, but being cautious to get into the car sideways and then twist into the seat. I am also walking quite a bit each day using a cane for minimal support. I can walk a bit...

    Thank you everyone! This forum is so helpful to keep things in perspective. I need to heal at my pace. There is obviously a reason why I am not released to my desk job yet. I just need to be patient. I have read all of the articles. Just thinking that perhaps there is more that might support...

    Hi everyone, Have posted some questions in the past week or so, but have not updated my progress. Well, this week feels not much different than last week. In fact, I feel like I am able to do less - walking, things around the house. My insomnia seems to be contributing to this. It seems as...

    THR Not old yet but getting right hip done.

    @Grumpyjoe it looks like you and I have had a similar recovery in some ways. I was wondering how you are doing with moving just to Tylenol? I am having a bit of a tough time with it, but maybe that is moore mental and I can power through. It has just been 1 day for me. What exercises are you...

    THR Surgery done and recovering - yay!!!

    Thank you both! But in between the limited walking, I find I just have energy and ability to sit with my legs elevated, even now. That's normal, right? I was thinking of starting a routine this week that included a 30 minute walk in the morning, rest with getting up and walking around the...

    THR Surgery done and recovering - yay!!!

    Any tips on how you got back to a good routine in weeks 3 and 4? My dr said that I should be getting back to regular activities, but my regular activities for the past 2 years were getting to a desk job and then living such a sedentary lifestyle after work and on weekends. I am now home for a...

    Thank you @Jaycey for the soapbox talk! I do plan on discussing with them on Monday at my post op appt. I also found another member on bone smart who had the same surgery with my same dr and she iced the 1st 2 weeks. She didn't care what they said. I am finding I don't really need the ice that...
