Hi @healthgal46
Hope all is well with you. Is the healing continuing? And job/s in the pipeline?
I am aching after working in the garden but it is a pain that I can put up with for the joy of gardening! x

Wow its been months since I was last on so I thought I would say hi. I am almost 5 mnths out from a THR and never been happier. I started back jogging or running whatever the difference is about 6 weeks out or so and took it slow and now working on doing 5 to 5.5 MLS I stopped doing my exercises for the stabilizer muscles and not good. I am starting back up on them. These muscles get weak very quickly if not trained regularly. Hope all is well w everyone!

You were jogging and running at 6 weeks? Wow. Not sure what else to say but wow. I was very active presurgery but wouldn't dream of doing that. I was even scolded here for being in pt. Good for you! Best wishes.

Glad things worked out well for you and hope you continue to enjoy your new hip. While your recovery philosophy isn't one we recommend, we do recognize that it can work for some people.

Hi @healthgal46 . Nice to hear from you. I had my OP onn 20 April and am also very pleased with my new hip. I can swim 1.5 km non-stop and cycle to work (21 km one way). I went back to work full-time at 6 weeks. You see in Germany they pay the full salary after an employee has called in sick and after that they stop. Then you only get a sort of sick benefit which is around 70% of the salary I think. I was ok working at 6 weeks though - I only have a desk job - I'm a translator. What kind of work do you do?
Amazing you started running/Jogging after 6 weeks. I also tried some light jogging after 13 weeks - just very lightly and slowly and 1 km at a time in the forest near my work in the lunch hour. I jogged and walked in turns to make up about 5 km altogether, and made sure I didn't heal-strike (but middle foot). How many km/miles did you do at a time when you first started running again?
Good luck and enjoy your sports activities - Keep well and take care. Warm regards from a - currently very sunny - Rhine-Main area (near Frankfurt), Germany
