    Hi Iam going to see my surgeon a week today for a routine check up of operated hip. he said he will look at my other hip. originally he told me that it did show signs of arthritis but nothing to worry about at that stage. thank you for your help and advice

    It's not yet 6 months.. And new hip is good.. Unfortunately I am now seeing that my other hip is getting achey.. Has anyone experienced 2 hips need replacing so soon together?

    Thank you for your kind words. i now tell other people about this forum as it helped me and i hope it helps others. Doctors and physios never seem to give you an accurate picture of what to expect.

    Thank you for the message. I'm doing well. In fact there are times where I forget that I have even had it done. This is a great forum and has helped me in many ways

    Hi I went to the Dr's for a routine blood test and had a A1C glucose test. I was told that i was prediabetic and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this due to the operation (as apparently the test is a 3 month history test on glucose....and the 3 months puts me at operation date)...

    Thank you for the reply. At 8 weeks nearly still got pains in the knee and hip but it isn't affecting My ability to get around. Been back at work now for 5 weeks so shouldn't really complaint.

    Thank you for your reply. Maybe I am being to impatient. I hope your recovery goes well. I found it helped keeping notes of my daily progress

    Thank you for that. It's difficult to know how far you should be. So many different things you hear. At 8 weeks wanted to be further than where I am

    Getting in the drivers side is fine. Still having to back in when a passenger. Its more lifting my leg up and bending to put on a sock (sort of lotus position) hard to describe
