Thank you so much for this video, I am 7 weeks post operation tomorrow. Sat up at 4am in pain and feeling very sorry for myself. I had my right hip replaced and to be honest have found it a very hard journey recovery wise. The one thing that I found difficult is reading about the people who after one week, have been back at the gym and no pain. I feel will never walk without my crutch again. So your video has helped Thank you.
Very informative and Sunny was spot on with 7 month summary. I'm also 7 months post Hip replacement and I'm practically pain free , just a little throbbing now and then after a long walk.
Thank you for the video. I am now in the 5th month after my hip surgery. I can walk fine with my operated hip, but I still have short quick "stinging" sensations around the scar area. I also feel inflammation around the bursa area of the hip muscles. I was wondering if this was part of the normal healing process, so I looked for a video put up by someone after 5 months of recovery from hip surgery. Thank goodness I found your video. What you say, is matching my experience. I was told by my surgeon that recovery takes at least 6 months, and it takes 12 months to feel more fully back to normal. It is a long process, but the body does what it needs to do. I was able to walk comfortably and do all of my basic daily tasks and errands in my 12th week after surgery. I returned to work in my 13th week after surgery. Yet the complete healing process does longer time. It is great to hear your story about recovery after hip surgery.
I am presently in my six month. I notice that after 30 mins of walking exercise and doing some of the exercises like squats, I have developed pain. It is a bit frightening when this happens because I immediately feel like I have put something out of kilter. How you experienced this. And, of course, thank you for sharing your experience after 5 months. It is a long process to healing,mit seems.
@@heartscontent i feel the same thing after long walks or leg presses..although i use light weight..im at 6mnths..the pain is just in my outter thigh area ..
Thanks very much, Sunny, for sharing your post-operative experience. I am a few months behind you and I particularly appreciate your comments about recovery being non-linear, and I can identify with your concerns about the various aches and pains that can crop up along the way. I'll take your advice on staying positive, too!
6 months post surgery with very minor pain. I walk 8 to 10k steps / day, cycle on the weekends and go to the gym 3x a week. I live a short walk from the ocean, so I swim frequently. But I have to be careful with rip currents and the surf, as it can twist you around! In summary, so far so good on the way to full recovery!
@@fdezhfd yes I’m living without any pains. don’t worry you will be definitely ok. Bcz i am from south Asian country. Technology and medical methods really good than our country. Luckily i was consulted great super experience Dr in here. So he’s the magician in my life. I’m really enjoying with my new life. God bless u
I am 4 weeks after total right hip replacement. Everything seems to be going ok, minimal pain and my surgical leg has become my "good" leg, as I need my left hip replaced next month. I am 56 and went back to work after 2 weeks and climbed a low ridge yesterday with a backpack and deer rifle. Right hip worked like a champ, the left hip felt like my right hip used to. It is sweet relief.
Brilliant, honest answers as I’m 5 months in and struggling with all the aching muscles at night that keep me awake am I guessing that I’m doing too much during the day?
I'm at 11th week. So I was thinking I should be farther along. Having hard time with surgery leg pain while trying to sleep at night. Seems I still need a pillow under my right leg for support. The right hip which was replaced works great. But my body does not like sitting for more than an hour or trying to drive more than an hour. Pain shooting down leg and shin. Once I get up walk a bit goes away for a while then. But driving I want to drive to Florida from Michigan in April for a vacation. Worried this might be too soon. If anyone could reply to your pain level with sitting and driving and how long until really felt normal. Thanks, J
@@johngoings5926 hi john! you're really at "beginning stages of healing" as i recall UNDERSTANDING nurse practitioner say at my 3 mo. postop appt. he added that 6 mos. was typical benchmark for REAL IMPROVEMENT, w/pain abatement, resumption function, etc. (i CERTAINLY needed pain relief med at your stage of recovery...) i think you'll be fine for road trip in apr -so long as break it up w/overnite motel stay at midpoint. (personally, i'm looking forward to 1 yr anniversary: widely accepted date for complete recovery!)
That Hip Replaced in February, I was told it was in a bad state when I went in to have it done. So would rake longer to Heal, but it's now 6months and I still can't walk without Crutches, I gave Scoliosis if the lower spine, which us very painful. And have asked for something to be done about it as strong meds don't work, would thus be the reason I still can't walk normally?
Im at 5mnths and feel great...although i do notice aftwr doing light leg presses or long walks the side of my legwill feel a little discomfort between the knee and hip area...is that normal
@@fdezhfd at first i had a limp..but got rid of it completely .with therapy and at home exercising...countless hrs of it..very worth it tho..im 100% recovered
I am 7 months out, it is hurting to walk at this point on some days. It really hurts walking on an incline. I work out and have an active job walking all day. Is this normal?
