    Post surgery golf

    Hey there, Glad you are doing well. I’m a little over a year out from both of my hip replacements. I was an active runner, played golf, basketball, tennis…so you can imagine my fear at 38 possibly not doing any of that again. So far I have been dead wrong. My golf game has actually improved...

    THR Heterotopic ossification, not what I expected

    So why the heck does everyone bash the US system? I get it is expensive, but we can get care much faster.

    THR Heterotopic ossification, not what I expected

    6 months for a CT scan? I live in Las Vegas which isn’t known for being fast for anything healthcare related but I waited 2-3 weeks tops. The CT scan took all of 5 minutes. I sure hope you don’t wait that long for the scan or any other appointments. I’d keep nagging on the phone for any...

    THR Possible revision surgery after 3 years

    Hey, I didn’t see what method was used during your surgeries. Mine was anterior and my surgeon told me in about 1/3 of surgeries, the numbness is permanent. I have the numbness in a spot on on the outside of my left 11 months out but it doesn’t bother me as the outside of my thigh isn’t a spot...

    THR Ryan's Hip Recovery

    Hi Everyone, Just wanted to give a quick update. My left hip is nearly 10 months out and my right is 7. Yesterday morning I decided to take our two dogs for a walk and after a few steps out of the door, they both decided to take off running. They are small dogs but can get going pretty fast...

    THR Spongebob's Recovery Journey

    SpongeBob, I’m 38 and recently had both hips replaced a few months apart. Your posts resonate with me as I was in constant fear that something wasn’t normal or an infection was coming. I was very (and still am to some extent) self aware of my body at all times. I would wake up and feel a little...

    THR Ryan's Hip Recovery

    Hey everyone, It has been a while since I have posted so just wanted to give a quick update. I am 6 months out from my LTHR and 3 months from my RTHR. Everything appears to be progressing well. I used to be an avid runner (now retired) so now I ride the stationary bike for 30 minutes a day...

    THR My Christmas time recovery

    Foxy, I’m 38 and had both hips replaced late last year. I was walking without assistance within two weeks after both surgeries. I have been going to the gym and was stunned at my recovery and thought this part of my life was in the past. Just recently it seems as though every day I wake up...

    THR How will I ever perform on the job again

    I’m 38 and just had both hips replaced. That sounds like tough work. Is there any chance your knowledge of these skills could pull you into more of a management/consulting position? I go to the gym daily but couldn’t imagine doing some of the things you described.

    THR 6 weeks post op- thigh/muscle pain

    Amy, why did you have a replacement so young? I had AVN and had both replaced recently at 37. I’m also dealing with new pain around my hip joint. Started this week and that hip was nearly 5 months out.

    THR Ryan's Hip Recovery

    Hi all, So everything has been going great. Hitting gym every day. Except….this past Monday I was walking and started til feel slight pain in left hip (left was done first). I hadn’t had pain in this hip for 2 months. I can still put full weight on that hip. It’s more of an annoyance. Has...

    THR Got back on the horse

    I am very glad you are recovering the way you are. Sharing your experience will no doubt give others ideas on how they might recover. I do feel you are missing one important point. All of the things you have done for your recovery have worked for YOU. Someone else may try PT and dislocate...

    THR Woodstockhip’s Recovery Thread

    Woodstock, hoping the best for you. I remember your post after my first replacement when I was down a bit. Been following your recovery since. Hope you know that little message you sent helped me out and continued to through hip #2. Hope you are doing well.

    THR Got back on the horse

    Awesome story. It is especially good for people who are on the fence about having it done. My two hip recoveries were similar to yours. One thing I have realized with my hips and talking to others is that you need to listen to your body. I go to the gym daily now and am barely 6 weeks out, but...

    THR Ryan's Hip Recovery

    Just wanted to give a quick update as today has been a great day. I am 26 days out from my second hip replacement. A little over 3 months from my first. I just got back from the gym where I was able to ride the stationary bike and do some light lifting with NO pain in either hip. This is the...
