Hello, I had my left hip replaced on 4/23/08. I am a little over 3 months post surgery. So I don't sound too much of a complainer! I will say I have much less pain & can do more than I could pre-surgery. My leg length is now what I consider perfect. At 9 years old, I was struck by a car as I was crossing the street. Multiple fractures, and three surgeries later, one more year on crutches until I could walk. So what a miracle that about 40 years later, this surgeon installs a new hip joint & corrects the discrepancy in my legs! Now, my back hurt before the surgery & everyone said "it's not your back, it's your hip". I am wondering if others have the back pain still 3 months out. Please let me know your thoughts. Mine bothers me mostly at night. Also, if you had it & you remember about how far out it stopped, I would love to know!
