I do have some numbness and pins & needles still on my non-operative leg. Is this common? Nothing on the bad-now-good leg.- TheTerrier

THR New hip - done by a robot!
Went for it yesterday - caught bus to town, did some Xmas shopping and caught bus back. Three weeks and three days after op and it feels a major breakthrough. Legs were a little tired but I felt great. Was on both crutches but think I’d have been better with just the one! But as I’m awake in bed...- TheTerrier

Any advice out there on limping? With walking aids - or just using a table or any surface - I’m walking without. But try without and there’s a definite limp. PT says need to work on bottom muscle, which has deteriorated over last few years. Any other advice?- TheTerrier

Three weeks now since left hip replacement. Here’s a short update with some positives and not-so positives! Pain - never been a problem and I can’t believe it. Hopefully it will remain this way. Perhaps the robot surgery was less intrusive? Or I’m lucky? Not been on any pain relief for a week...- TheTerrier

No, not C3-PO or R2-D2! A Mako, which was obviously aided by the consultant!!! Just stumbled on the forum, wish I’d seen earlier it would have been a great support and resource. Hi! I’m in my mid-40s and had left THR three weeks ago. I’ve been lucky and had very little pain (not sure if the...- TheTerrier
