    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    Happy 2nd birthday to my hips! So grateful for my positive recovery. I’m still running 3 times a week, I’ve added in strength training and yoga to help with flexibility. I’m aiming to run 10k in the not too distant future. All the best to everyone on their recovery journeys. I greatly appreciate...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    @Coddfish All the best in your recovery. I took up running just under a year after my bilateral hip replacement having never run before apart from when forced to at school 40 years ago. My surgeon only advised me not to bungee jump and said any other sport/exercise was fine once I felt ready...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    I’m really enjoying running - and I never ever thought I would say that. I’ve worked up from running 1minute non stop in early April to 30 minutes non-stop today. I love it and it gives me such a buzz. So grateful to have the chance to keep my new hips fit and healthy. Love and strength to all...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    Happy birthday to me and more importantly happy 1st birthday to my new hips! What a great job they have done! I’m so grateful for the range of movement and to be pretty much pain free. I’ve been dancing, skipping, helping with football (soccer) training and have recently taken up running with...

    Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. I’m not on here so often these days. I used a walker only for a couple of days in hospital (had to be able to use crutches before they would let me out of hospital as I have stairs at home) then crutches for about eight weeks. Then under my surgeon’s advice I...

    Bilateral THR Tomgho’s Bilateral THR Journey

    Greetings from a fellow bilateral. I’m now almost 5 months post op and have returned to work full time and I’m able to move so much better than before. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me after years of pain and limping. You will have peaks and troughs and there will be times you just...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    Almost 4 months update I’ve been away on holiday. I bought foldable walking sticks for long walks through airports and on unfamiliar ground and was delighted I didn’t need them. Lots of new achievements unlocked - walking on sand, walking up and down steep hills and steps, swimming, dancing...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    Thank you @Layla for the good wishes. I can’t believe it’s three months. My return to work is going smoothly. My first full day last week was tiring and I was a bit sore but I fully expected it and it was manageable. I worked another full day on Monday which went well and return again tomorrow...

    Bilateral THR Supersub’s recovery

    Week 12 update I’m continuing to make progress. I visited my work today to plan my phased return and I start back tomorrow. We agreed I’ll just do one day this week. We’ll see how that goes and I will look to do 2 days next week if all goes well. I know I’ve still a long way to go in my recovery...

    THR Hip Hip Hooray!

    I’m going back to work this week - 12 weeks post op. At 6-8 weeks I wouldn’t have believed I would be ready by the 12 week point so you may surprise yourself. However I’m fortunate that I can do a gradual return, increasing my hours week by week. All the best. I hope the swelling eases for you
