For those who don't know, i am 20 years old, 6'3"...I had a full left hip replacement 3 weeks and 5 days ago.
I am already walking without a cane or crutch, and i have been driving again for several days. Of course there is pain, mostly in my quads...But that will take time to strengthen, which i expect, and know.
I am no longer using my raised toilet seat either, for there is no pain whatsoever sitting at normal height....I can already sit properly (I have not been able to sit properly for 4 years).
My question for Josephine, or anyone who wants to give their opinion:
I am a very physically fit person, and i am young. I've always wanted to persure a career in law enforcement, since i could remember. Now, this is a hard question since most people with a hip replacement on this site are already 40+...But i am wondering, when my bone grows into my metal ball, and i start the strength training...And if somehow i get my leg feeling amazing....Is there any possible way i can still persue this career?
The only thing i am worried about, not to much the running...It is the hard physical need that training has...For example Self defense courses...Alot of tossing and what not.
Now, i am not looking for someone to shatter my dreams, i have a out for what i am going to do for my career if people think this is a 100% NO...So i expect a straight answer if i could get one.
I appreciate it, and the time it took to read, thanks.
