    THR 49M, Active Military, Left Anterior THR 9 November 2022

    Team- One year ago I had just redeployed from Poland. I could barely walk. I had to lean on the walls of the hotel hallway I stayed in at the airport or fully rely on the luggage rack. This weekend, I hiked the Appalachian Trail with my new hip. This journey has been life changing! Please reach...

    THR New THR and quite upsetting

    I remember the long leg. Luckily I had read about it prior to surgery or it would have definitely freaked me out. For me, I hobbled around for so long putting off this surgery that my pelvis had adjusted significantly. This compensation is what had to slowly be undone. Best of luck!

    Team- Wanted to provide a week 3 update. To be clear, I will be 3 weeks post op on Wednesday, but I've experienced a couple of the issues that have been expertly discussed on this site. 1) I woke up yesterday (Sunday) with a significant case of anxiety. No real catalyst or shiny object in my...

    I'm super glad to hear your LL is better! I too felt that my operated leg was much longer right after surgery. I'm only a few weeks in and it seems to be correcting. Our bodies are amazing at compensating, and I'm sure mine was compensating for a short leg for multiple years. Please keep us...

    Team- Happy Saturday! I am two weeks and two days post surgery. I struggled with a bad hip for the last 6 years of a 22 year career in the US Army. This is the first time I have been in a position where I felt I could "take a knee" and get myself fixed. The information you guys provide is...
