I've been very interested to read about other peoples' experiences following hip replacement surgery. I am over the moon, and very happy indeed following my operation in June this year. The procedure has given me back my life, enabling me to walk and do gardening again. I do have a question however regarding discomfort. How would I know whether or not it is due to infection or just normal and to be expected? I experience it when sitting or when in bed. I cannot yet lie on my operation side, is this usual after 14 weeks. I do not need to see my surgical team again for 5 years as they were very pleased with my progress at my 7 week check up. Any comments please?
