Hi, had my right THR last week. Despite a lot of trepidation about surgery it all went well. I had an epidural and felt surprisingly well post op. The hospital had an enhanced recovery programme and I was out of bed using a walker within 8 hours. Following physio I was discharged after an overnight stay (30 hours post surgery) using crutches to get about.
I think I must have a high pain threshold as I have only taken paracetamol as pain relief for the last 2 days. Having read other threads I think that I must be very fortunate not to experience high levels of pain. It seems trivial to say that my main issues are lack of sleep and constipation!
Would be great to hear other recovery stories.
