Post operative patient 4 hours after a total hip replacement and then 12 days post op! 

There were women with me who were up and walking pain free within hours. They went home the next day. I and one other lady stayed in for. 4 days. My pain was so extreme that I fainted 4 times while trying to walk. This man is the top of the exceptions. Everyone recovers at their own pace. Don’t judge yourself on the recovery of others.

I needed a walker the first day. And I clearly remember day 12, it was my daughter's wedding day. I was actually walking and doing stairs very well WITH MY CANE, I could barely take a step without it. Saw my surgeon a week later, he told me I was doing better than most.

I had a total left hip replacement 2 years ago and I was not up prancing down the hall like the guy in the video! I was in a lot of pain, my legs were swollen, I was loopy from pain meds, so this video is not what the majority go through. I went home and didn’t know what day it was from the drugs, got cellulitis in my right leg needing more medication on top of what I was already taking. It was not a blissful time.

This person walking hours after a total hip replacement normally, is probably an extreme rare case. I have had two total hip replacement and I was in the gym for months prior to surgery, this does not happen happen but I will stop shori of calling this a lie. Don't believe the hype. The pain is severe for about 2 1/2 weeks

I had total hip replacement 10 days ago, was up and walking immediately after, went home that afternoon. Virtual pain free and walking normally now. Pretty amazing

No way, I've had both hips replaced, the second took two ops because it dislocated. In the UK you're not allowed out of bed until the following day. No way could you walk unaided in so little a time and no way could you twist in a turn around like that, your tissue has to heal and grow around your new hip or you risk displacement. Having said this for anyone thinking of hip replacement.... do I think it was worth it.... absolutely I have regained mobility in my hips without the use of walking aids 👍

Putting stuff like this on here is irresponsible and gives out a false message . 🙄

Thats truly amazing. I stayed overnight, next day I still had pain and couldn't reallymove my leg freely wthout help. A whole of fighting pain and sleepless nights. I guess everyone responds differently.

this isn't 4hrs if you listen he said 12 days any do they lie!!!!! I'm 4 days post op and this shyt still hurts!!

No way to walk like that 4 hours later. I had a nerve block, so perhaps that is a difference. I couldn’t even feel my leg 4 hours after

I am 48 hours post op still in the hospital in tons of pain

There's no possible chance anyone could recover that quickly. 4 hours later the anesthesia wouldn't even have worn off. BS click bait.

I’m 4 days in after a total hip replacement there is no way on this gods green earth i can walk lol Bob .. still on with first stage physio and it hurts like hell but the relief from the original pain is instantaneous so onwards and upwards !

WOW! This gives me so much hope as I'm facing total hip replacement on right side in June 2024.

I was walking completely normal a couple days after hip replacement. It hurt but the pain was nothing compared to before the surgery.

UNBELIEVABLE is right. I am 17 days out of total hip replacement surgery. It is possible that I could walk these few steps unassisted for a video, but I find it very irresponsible to lead people to think walking is as easy as rhis looks so soon after a total hip replacement. Also, my mobility highly depends on how much pain medicine I take, which could lead to overuse too soon and new problems.

This is very possible with the Anterior THR. I had the surgery 3 years ago. I was walking around the block twice with a walker 1 day after surgery. Released by the doctor to return to work 13 days after surgery. No PT, no rehab.

My total hip replacement surgery was three weeks ago. That patient must perhaps be on really good medication? I also had an epidural and my legs didn’t “thaw out “ for several hours. I had to use a walker for 1.5 weeks. I certainly hope all are well and healing.

Having a hip replacement on 6 May. Hope it goes this well. Feeling positive after a spine fusion L2-L5 last year which went very well. Started line dancing 4 weeks post op.

I'm 5 weeks post-op and it still hurts to put pressure on that leg

I walked into my follow up apt 2 weeks later..nothing like a working hip..

I am one week post-op for my right hip. I went into surgery at 11:00 a.m. and I was out and home by 5:00 p.m. I did visit the doctor the day after along with my Walker but I certainly wasn't walking up and down like this.... I am still using my Walker

Everyone responds differently to the surgery but most tolerate it very well. If a person has multiple medical conditions, problems with anesthesia, or pain med or just not in decent physical condition it is going to affect recovery.

I have hip replacement 5 days ago and still sleeping on back with pillow between legs and it's so painful to sleep on your back for 5 days without change your position

I am in so much agony day 2...

So many clueless post here. I'm 3 weeks post op without pain and walking 1/2 mile every day. Every one is different. Surgeons are different. Do your homework.

I just had one...posterior approach...4 days ago. Although my pain is minimal...taking no pain meds....I absolutely cannot walk without my walker right now! For certain everyone's recovery differs, but I do believe this patient is an anomaly!

No way,I had mine done 3 weeks ago and I'm at least using a cane yet also with therapy

I watched too many of these stupid ass videos before my surgery on 12/13/22 and regret watching every one of them.

I had a thr Monday with a spinal and four hours after surgery I couldn't pee on my own, this is not real. Im doing great three days later but still not like this. I had a great Dr and facility but they simply would not let this person put clothes on and walk around. I jear his saying 12 days post op. If this is the case i do believe it.

This is how I’m trying to be when I do mine next month. Pray for me. I am 37 years old. Broke my hip at 10. Didn’t think I’d need it until later in life. I’m nervous but this man just gave me hope that I will be walking fine. God bless.

I hope l do this well. Good for him ❤

I don’t believe in such videos.and I also don’t know a doctor who would recommend to walk without any walker the first 6 weeks. It is not allowed to use the operated leg equally during first weeks. And this is the same day of the surgery? Are u kidding?

impossible after 4 hours

Not me I can’t walk yet. My other hip is shot. I was walking on a broken hip for 4 months. It didn’t show up on anything. But I’m also 72 and this guy is waaaay younger than I am.

Motivates me to try recovering a little bit faster

This guy managed to change along the hallway - removed the blue belt and his mask turned from blue to white 😂 I spent 4 days in the hospital and when I came home I just could not move my leg up to my bed. No problem with the walking with 8 extra strength Tylenol and 3mg of HydroMorphon.

the next day when the meds wear off is when you truly feel it

I pray that after my procedure I will be this good

I had a limp after getting my rt hip done, Im 2 wks out on my left, Im still on walker

Hmm. I had an anterior THR 4 days ago and I can walk short distances with a cane, but mainly using the walker. No way without assistance. I can stand on my own, but not walk. Everyone’s different. Go at your own pace!

This isn’t impossible at all. I made a YT video of myself last week of walking right after with no nerve block. It’s how strong you are, who your Dr is and method he uses. People are soo negative in the comments and should shut their mouths.

I walked to rest room right after my surgery couple hours after

illogical...they don't allow you to put your body weight on your legs for few days

Show me his scar, Wife is 24hrs after surgery, can't get enough drugs, walking with walker is good for about 2minutes, One thing that I really question is after 12days when he is walking, when he gets to the end he just pivots, every nurse, doctor has stated that this will throw you new hip out faster than anything.??

This is misleading. That is probably not accurate

This is misleading and untrue unless this guy wears the same clothes to the surgery and then to the doctor’s office 12 days later? What is the likelihood of that? Regardless, I highly doubt that the first clip is really 4 hours post-surgery as no responsible hospital would let you walk without a walker that soon - a fall could do a lot of damage and completely ruin your joint. Most people (myself included) would likely still be in bed in a hospital gown waiting for the spinal to fully wear off so they could actually feel and move their legs completely. I had anterior total left hip on 4/24 and was up and walking with a walker and doing up and down 4 stairs with a cane about 5 hours later (had to do to be able to be released that day) but there was no way I was able to walk like he is supposedly doing at 4 hours (he looks the same as 12 days, btw). I also had tons of swelling in the leg after about 3 days that made it hard to comfortably walk unless using the walker or cane - that swelling took over a week to subside I’m now 3.5 weeks out and can walk unassisted like shown here - have been since about 20 days out. So… don’t despair as most folks will be up and moving well by 3-4 weeks after surgery - but you almost definitely won’t be able to walk like this at 4 hours after surgery. In fact, it could be dangerous to try to do so. My surgeon stressed no walking without the walker for first 1-2 weeks and then I could switch to the cane in week 3 and unassisted in week 4 as tolerated. His advice was not to rush things and risk injury - his slogan was “this is a surgery for lazy people” and, beyond increasing walking distances each week, the focus should be on healing in the first month. There is plenty of time for PT and strength training after that!

This is bullshit...no way is this legit, I'm 4 weeks post op and still need one arm crutch and still on painkillers.

Good for You @! l had a total hip replacement in Nov.2023 l couldn't even stand up yet alone walk same day & l still walk with a cane never again Dr.Lietman geisinger danville pa

It's kind of deceptive to Showcase this as being average or normal. It depends entirely on what kind of shape you're in when you go into surgery. People have many different experiences and remember, this is a major surgery.

I did mine at a walk-in clinic was out in two and a half hours here it is day 5 and I'm still using a walker

Just had anterior thr 8 days out going great no pain at all from waking up to now thanks to pain meds. Can get around with out my walker and already back to work. I'm 72. The secret is ANTERIOR. If your surgeon cant or wont do this get another surgeon who can.

Miracle 😮

Lol….4 days…bs….probably 4 weeks is more like it😅

This must be the direct anterior approach

I thought you weren't supposed to TURN LIKE THAT SHORTLY AFTER A HIP REPLACEMENT 😮😮😮

Sir meri maa ki hip replacement surgery 8month hua hai pir bhi pero me lachhakan hota hai aur phili me dard aur sujan kyu hota hai

He is wearing the same clothes? This cannot be after four hours? A neighbour is still on crutches about 8 weeks post operation.

That sounds unbelievable

12 days after I can believe but 4 hours. I don't think so cause everyone is different everyone heals at their own pace..

False message. My dad is still in a lot of pain 4 days after the surgery but was able to walk a little and come back home. But can barley get up the steps

On 1 POD patients can't even move their hip but therapist makes them do ankle movements and tried to get them off the bed with help of Walker and walk atleast two steps and back to bed that's all they can do and this is impossible bro .

Incredible

was the surgery done posterior or anterior?

Tell me how plsss... 🙏

I don't see the video of the post 4 hours? 🤔

HOW?! I've just had my second total hip replacement @41 yrs old. HOW??? I need answers please 😮

Good marketing strategy

I wasn’t even allowed to drive for 5 wks THR postop. I don’t believe this video even if 12 days!

Impossible if they had the surgery i had!

I went home that day

Nemoguće je ovako hodati 4 h posle operacije!

Where is the 4 hour clip? This is the 12 day...the Doc even says so

Not impossible! Mine was May 3, 2 weeks after I walked into doctor office with no cane. I walked down/up a hill one month after and I should not have done that.

What approach was used?

Im doubting this guy after on 12 hrs? No walker, no cane?

This is misleading video. I had 2 times of hip replacement surgery. Not after 4 hours or 12 day walking is like this. They are kidding with us

Wow.

Show me the incision

AL needs to listen to his rehab people and NOT leave his foot planted when turning around or it will injury his hip

The narrator said ' 12 days post op".

No way 😳

Rubbish!! There is no way you can walk like this 12 days post-op.

Hip capsule tayar hone me to 4 to 6 week jata hai ye kaise possible hai

I am 8 days post op…No way!…This is very deceptive!…And this is my 2nd hip replacement!

I dont believe that

Add the she. 4 weeks in now Still can't walk by myself. Pain in buttocks.dr. said it's my muscles. Wish I could walk.

I’m going under in October. Aaahhhh

Membuat saya menjadi percaya diri

No way I had total hip replacement and this is not true

Same clothes

Such a fake video. I am healthy person 44 yo who just had a R hip replacement, I am petite 5’1” and 110 pounds, recovery takes a while and first week is very painful.

Yah sab pagal bana rahe hai mera hip replace karke 5 week ho gaya hai abi bhi chalana mushkil ho raha hai

This is a video about post op NERVE BLOCK, not hip replacement. Do not be deceived. 12D post op maybe

Wait till the block wears off.

Totally fake video you cant get out of bed from first 3-4 days I also had hip replacement and even after 2 weeks not able to walk without cruch

This is absolutely false.

What a load of crap. This sure didn’t happen for me

Yeah this is fake. I'm in a lot of pain 4 days post op and I'm younger than you and am athletic person

Everyone is on drugs as you see
