    Hi @Jaycey I haven't been doing anything different, maybe slightly longer walks but nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that can explain the increased pain or swelling. I went to see my physio this morning - she believes it is inflamed piriformis muscle that is putting pressure on the IT...

    7 Weeks post op today Went to see the surgeon today and all restrictions have been lifted, I can slowly return to ALL normal activities I was doing before the hip issues - the only advice I was given is to go slow and test before jumping fully into any of the activities so I make sure my body...

    @BMsea I have Ceramic on Ceramic, was advised by the surgeon of small risks of squeaking and brittle but as you can read here on the forum these are just instances of potentially a lot older models of ceramics than they are putting now so I have decided to go for it. I would say choose the...

    @NewHip2017 and @Jaycey thanks, I have rested the last 3 days and lastnight the swelling was much better although not completely gone yet. I am back to my normal activity levels and all I can feel is the swelling like a tennis ball whenever I walk but I am back to no pain at all. I have...

    Today is 5 weeks since op... On Wednesday I was more active at home walking without the sticks and than went out for a walk (with the sticks) in the afternoon and I think I have overdone it, as at the end of the day I was swollen at the incision and it was very painful to walk and sleep. 2...

    @sharonslp - after the op surgeon came in and he did mention that with my age I will want to do more but he suggested to take it easy and be cautious about the dislocation risks until I see him at 6 weeks post op... so he wasn't very precise and I didn't ask as I was thinking it will be painful...

    yes @Cas I guess needing hip replacement at this age was unusual so my recovery had to be out of the ordinary as well... I did listen to the advice of everyone here on the forum and I am taking it more conservatively than I began with but each day I feel like I can do so much more... I was in...

    Just an update, I have managed full days at work Monday and Tuesday with no issues at all. Monday was more active day so I walked around the office without sticks for the first half of the day and after lunch I used them until the end of the day just in case I over do it. Today I did half...

    when have people gone back to work? is it too early to go back part time in the 4th week? I have a desk job and can setup the desk and chair so I don't break the 90 degree rule, but interested to know what other hippies experience has been as to energy levels ? thanks
