@erwrightie, well ... really, I don't think you need to worry about the hip getting "stuck." Your muscles got stretched, cut, pushed, pulled and every other thing as part of the surgery ... and the surgeon hammers in ... pounds into our bones a new metal device ... there is a lot of trauma ... That big incision in your leg ... that's a real cutting/dicing/slicing there.
The soft tissue recovers at its own pace ... In addition ... it takes about three months for the device to fuse with bone ... At this stage, I think your risk is going the other way: doing too much ... You'll gradually do more without even intending to do so.
So yes, the soft tissue has to recover ... before we gain real strength. Takes time and healing for us to walk ... and and move ... this is major surgery you had ... not a minor procedure. ...
