I know I'm older than you (I'm 57) but I really am feeling your pain. You love CrossFit and jumping and running! That's what you did before all of this. It was your thing. You want to be able to live life without fear. That's a big deal.
I understand the buyer's remorse, too. I am second guessing my first hip and wish I had asked more questions. My range of motion stinks, which limits many of my favorite activities. I feel like I should have questioned more and researched other options, like a dual mobility implant. At the time, I didn't realize there were so many options.
The constant fear that I might fall or somehow damage it was something that completely surprised me. I hope that I can gain some confidence in the next year or so, because living with this constant fear is not ok.
I kinda expected it to be more back to normal because so many people say that they can do anything they want. I guess I want to do different activities than other people.
And OMG, if people keep telling me to take up cycling, I'm going to barf. I'm seriously bad at biking, and the indoor one feels like a hamster wheel. It's decidedly not my thing.
I expect my second replacement to be a bit more forgiving, so I will be lopsided. I wish I had done more research, and I admire yours.
Please keep us updated. I appreciate your posts.
