THR 11 Year update and how I won the battle
It's fantastic seeing your continued dedication to this forum Jamie! I was fortunate having a physiotherapist that accepted my desire to push the limit of my replacement. There have been no physical setbacks to date since my last update in 2009. I'd never recommend anyone's recovery to mimic...- YoungGuy

THR 11 Year update and how I won the battle
It's been nearly 10 years since my last post on forum. I'm grateful to ALL for each individual story of triumph through post-op adversity. When I joined this forum in 2008, I was convinced that no one would help me. Thankfully, I was wrong. The forum provided me with two important areas that...- YoungGuy

THR Recovery: dealing with your recovery time.
The morbid word....Recovery, or rehabilitation. When someone gets a surgery or has a accident in which requires surgery or a long recovery....they know, without a doubt there will be a long rehabilitation process. The hardest part about rehab is thinking that you have to rehab. There is many...- YoungGuy

My Dr appt on 9/17/09
Quite common. What has happened to you, happened too me...And has happened to many others who have had Hip replacements. Your leg is weak, your muscles are fighting to be strong, and you push it. I would not recommend walking around for 1 hour 30 minutes, even leaning on a cart...If you...- YoungGuy

Limiting Failed Hip Replacements!
It has been a while since I have posted on the site, because I have been so busy lately! I am aware most of what I am about to say is common knowledge, but I also know sometimes I need to be reminded of many things I should already know! I am the complete example of someone who would...- YoungGuy

Wow, I can't Believe it has been 10 Months.
I had a metal ball on rubber implant, they used a somewhat newer rubber that has only been in circulation for 8 years i think. I give most of the credit to my surgeon, who did a flawless surgery. Being only 2 months post op, i would hold back on doing much yet, since if you got a Metal...- YoungGuy

5 days post-op and doing good!
You were lucky to get out so early, i wasn't so lucky! The sleep issues will continue for a while, be ready for them, but as soon as your doctor/physiotherapist allows you to sleep on the Incision with a pillow inbetween your legs it helps a great deal....Sleeping on your side anyways! It...- YoungGuy
