For those of you who are waiting for surgery, let me tell you that everything will be fine. I am 34 years old and was a soldier for 11 years. I wish you all the best and don't be afraid because the pain you had will go away. That will be a relief. :)

Thank you for sharing. I had a reconstruction in 2004 and was told I would eventually need a replacement. I have lived with pain on and off since 2004, sometimes I go weeks with out pain and then sometimes it’s so bad. Recently in the last 2 weeks it’s been consistent. I am ready to be pain free, I am so done with the pain but have been really nervous about it. So reading about others success makes me a little more at ease. I am 45 so am hoping I don’t have any issues.

Turned 29 yesterday. Almost exactly 1 year ago I had both hips replaced due to avn. I was on prednisone and 325 pounds when I found out i needed surgery 2 years ago. I've lost 80 pounds and plan to keep losing it. I had anterior on both and got dual mobility implants. I want to tell you guys that are looking up these videos before your surgery or after your diagnosis to not be scared. Find a surgeon you love and trust and ask every single question that pops into your head. You're gonna get back to where you want to be or better! Don't let it break you!

@PacLevkov 2 года назад

30 here, I have AVN on the right leg. I am afraid of the surgery because of the lifetime of the materials. They suggest 10 to 15 years before revision.

@kilp3140 2 года назад

@@PacLevkov yea the surgery can be scary and the longevity of the materials is something that's always in the back of my mind too. But if you're too far gone the alternative is a lifetime of pain. I let my avn get to the point where I couldn't stand up anymore and I lost a lot of leg muscle because of it. There's people that can last a long time and live with minimal impact. My guess is that if you're here youve already been told youll need a replacement. I can say after both of them being done I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone in pain. Do as much research as you can. Talk to multiple doctors. Find what works best for you. Look up dual mobility. Ask me any questions bud best of luck!

I had my right hip replaced in 2013 at Cedar Sainai Hospital in CA and it was the best decision for me. I went from constant pain to completely pain free. The pain maintenance after the surgery was awesome. I play basketball full and half court 3 times a week indoors. My golf game and driving range of 300 yards hit balls has not decreased. I ride bikes without any issues. I have not had any complications ever. In fact it's my left hip that is my weak point now and I won't hesitate to replace it when necessary. I have had MRI scans of the hip and there are no signs of wear to the device. I hope this helps anyone that is in fear of the surgery.

@sampawellness2603 2 года назад

3 months ago I had a double hip replacement. My recovery has been stellar. The main reason for that is finding the right professionals (surgeons, hospital, physiotherapists) and doing the work that was requested, before, during (my hospital stay) and after. As a result I have recovered 90% of my movement taking prehab and rehab really serious. Every time that I was down before the operation I reminded myself that it was temporary, when I am frustrated nowadays I remember that the pain is gone. Do your homework and you will be fine😉

@aprilhassell1747 Год назад

Why did you have both hips replaced?

@milesbautista3583 Год назад

I am a 72 year old fairly healthy person and this year my hips have been really hurting me and I think I need a double hip replacement . My doctor says I need it after he viewed my mri. The second opinions I have been getting say it looks like it’s still doable and not to get surgery but to just go to therapy. Have been going for 5 weeks - but it seems my hips start to hurt still a lot! I am so afraid that I may subject myself to surgery only to find out later that my hips still hurt! 😢 I also experience sciatica pain down my left leg - would that go away too after surgery? I think I will go for the surgery after Christmas cause the pain in my hips really keep me from enjoying my life lately . At first I was thinking of doing both at the same time but my friends who have had one hip done have talked me out of it - saying recovery would be very difficult , as you would need to rely on your other leg after surgery.

I turn 34 in just a few weeks, had my second hip replaced just a few days ago. I had cancer when I was pregnant six years ago and have been struggling to fully recover ever since.

Doesn't feel much different than my natural hip, except for the still healing part. And no arthritis pain.

Excellent video. Had my 1st hip replacement 6 years ago and my 2nd on Sept 11th of this year. The 1st one...I did nothing. No PT. 3 years later, I joined a CrossFit gym. This time, I was back in the gym, 2 weeks to the day after the surgery. I shared my prescribed PT plan with my coaches. We applied the PT exercises plus Echo Bike for 2 weeks. We added upper body and more PT volume for weeks 3-4 (or 6 weeks post procedure). We then moved to heavily scaled 1:1 WODs. By Oct 22nd, I rejoined classes with the coaching staff fully aware of my need to scale exercise appropriately. I am back to 5 WODs per week with light weight, ROM management & volume management and still obtaining 800-1100 calorie burns per class. Obviously, I am a big fan of "get moving"!!

@pappyshea2944 3 года назад

@@sabrinathomas9065 Hi, it's funny to have you ask me hip surgery. I work for the VA and have walked one of my supervisors and one of my Veterans thru the process in the last 6-8 weeks. (both are doing fine). Anyway, if you are like most people i have talked to, you are probably at the point that it hurts to move and hence you are less active. After your hip is replaced, you will go thru the healing process for a few weeks but will feel better than you do now. If you are active now and healthy and do the recommended rehab, you should be back to a normal life pretty soon. There were very few things i could not do after 6-8 weeks. After a few months life will return to normal. I was back out mowing, going out in the boat and just normal every day life. There are a few things you will have to give up like tennis, jogging, jumping off roofs! :) Things that really twist your hip socket and high impact things that will cause it to wear out to soon. Your young like me and i don't want to wear mine out and have another replacement any time soon. If you have a good surgeon, rehab like your supposed to and follow the bending and twisting guidelines, you will be back to doing all the things you love "without the pain" in no time. I watched everything i could find on RU-vid and that helped with most of my questions and fears. I hope this helped a little as long as it is. Don't waste another day in pain, get it done.

Excellent description of the problem and the solutions. I had my left side done in 2015 after being diagnosed as a good candidate for surgery in 2011. I fought the pain for that long because it would come and go over time, but eventually it was constant and intense. The replacement surgery stopped that pain as son as I came out of the recovery room. You still will be sore from the operation but I could have kicked myself for waiting so long. I just had the right side done this month. The onset of pain was quicker and more intense. No delaying this time. Osteoarthritis was the cause in both cases. Discuss everything with your doctor, but as a two time patient, it was the solution to my problem.

I'm a personal trainer in my early 50s, who had a hip reconstruction after a nasty road accident in 2018 - which has now failed. So I'm soon to have THR. Thank you for this video! I have been worried about all the 'you can't do these activities anymore' (don't sneeze at the wrong angle) comments - even from professionals I respect. For me the idea that I'd lose so much mobility and ability down to prescribed caution was very depressing, so this has given me hope that after fixing my LLD and posture, working in isolation to rebuild muscle strength in that leg - I will be able to return to the exercises that I love. Again thank you. Surgery only a few weeks away. Great channel!

I had a right hip replaced three days ago. I was in significant pain for more than a year, couldn't sleep well or reach my foot. When I decided on the surgery, I went gung-ho on the pre-hap, working out - despite the really bad pain - 6 days a week: boxing, HIIT, and weight lifting. This hurt like hell but it improved my health a great deal. I knew I would lose muscle mass from the surgery, but I wanted the base line to be better going in to the surgery. BTW, I am a 63 year old woman. So, I have had NO pain since the surgery - none. Yes, I am still and sore and there is an occasional twinge, but compared to before? Pffft! I am doing what I can, moving a lot (mostly don't use a walker now - this is day four) and doing the PT and stuffing myself with protein and carbs. Also, I ice, ice, ice and drink liquids. I am very swollen down to the knee and bruised, but - meh. I am thrilled to have done this surgery. Good luck to all.

Wow! You're doing great! I'm also going to do the anterior in 3 mos. My goal is to get in even better shape prior, like you did! My job is the problem, constantly bending on hard floors. Now the pain is terrible after a day at work. 66yo, quitting once the surgery is done. Thanks for the info!!

@r.c.5827 11 дней назад

@@carolena3414 Yes, that sounds familiar. I had a lot of pain from bending too, and working out was torture since I took a lot of HIIT classes where they are forever having you do burpees. I could hardly get to the floor and back up again by the time others had done 5 or 6. I still can't do this quickly, by the way, but it is getting MUCH better, and it doesn't hurt. For me, sleeping was very painful since I could not lie on either side comfortably. BTW, everyone says you won't sleep well after the surgery, but I slept like a baby (because the pain was gone). One other thing to mention is that you need to eat more after the surgery, especially protein. I ate about 300 Kcal more per day than usual and I still lost weight: not a good thing, since you don't want to lose muscle. But I am building back up, so no matter..... Best of luck to you: I'm sure you'll be fine. My current goal is to learn Tai Kwon Do. Flying round house kicks! What fun!

Thank you for your guidance. I live in Japan and had right hip replacement surgery 4 years ago. No problems as yet. BUT: doctors told me my artificial hip would last only 15 years. But that, I later came to know by self study, was based on polyethylene cups in the joint. My study told me that recent joints use cross-linked polyethylene, which supposedly last up to 5 times longer. That was a relief. BUT: doctors here here are still telling elderly people who are candidates for surgery to put it off to a later age because of the 15-year span.

Hello. 10 weeks ago I had posterior total hip replacement due to rapid onset degenerativre arthritis. I was quickly in a very poor way before the op. having been normally active 60 year old. A vrry painful 3+weeks has been hugely eased .. don't be anxious ! Walking is slowly building up .. don't be in a rush ! Mental treats and boosts are as important as physical ones I sense ...plan them for yourself ! You can't plan your physical recovery, you can only work at it, but you certainly can do some mental control , so call on your friendships and some outings! My question are... for how long does the muscle around the incision area feel hard, swollen and sore ? My endurance is not increasing reliably .. am I over-ambitious for 10 weeks ? Having no-one to turn to for questions make this sort of site so helpful ...much appreciated. Thsnk you.

Great video! I'm 37 and a Veteran and been diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis earlier this year. Due to COVID, many road blocks because of it. My left hip is worse than my right hip. Again, due to COVID, I couldn't have my left hip replaced but they recommended that I should have a core decompression on my right hip on August 14th of this year to prevent it from getting worse like my left hip. I had an appointment today at the VA and FINALLY, I'm scheduled to have my left hip replaced in 2 weeks, December 1st. As you know how the pain is with Avascular Necrosis in the hips and it really sucks! Hard to walk, sit, sleep, drive, etc! I live in Houston, Texas and COVID is on the rise again so I PRAY that I'm able to have the surgery in 2 weeks because I've been hearing and reading about another lockdown here....

I had total hip replacement on my right hip just under 5 months ago, and I play sports, more particularly a sport that involves running, diving, sliding, ect.(competitive tournament paintball) and I just turned 40 years old, and so far I have been able to run including sprinting no problem, I've been able to squat, kneel down, I've even been crossing my right leg to put sock and shoe on, bend over to pick things up, and I haven't had any problems so far. My right hip and leg honestly feels like it did 3 years ago before any of the pain started, it feels 100% again. The only thing I haven't tried yet is sliding on my knees and hips. I still can't believe I went from going through all the pain that I did, to feeling 100% whole again because of this surgery 😁

Great video, thank you! I had been training in kickboxing for 4 years, despite having increasing arthritic hip pain and walking with a severe limp, when I had a much-needed hip replacement in April of this year. But I couldn't bear the thought of quitting martial arts, and was back training within 2 months - obviously taking great care. I have found that squats are not good for me, and experienced a sudden, breath-taking pain whilst doing squat jumps :( I achieved my black belt recently, 7 months after the op (2 days after my 65th birthday!). I still can't kick high - only below waist level - but that's fine. And side kicks are still not strong, though back kicks are! I was fairly fit when I had the op, and had consciously lost weight, and I take supplements. The hospital staff made it obvious that they see being over-weight as a major problem, and that a high percentage of patients for hip replacement are carrying too much weight, also leading them to have additional health problems. So, keeping our weight down has to be a major priority.

@sgordon8123 Год назад

As a person who has always loved exercise I was very reluctant to have this op. I am now on day 4 post op posterior approach. My surgeon said "limitations don't make a HUGE difference to outcomes" but also said "LISTEN to pain and be careful." He re-attached the piriformis muscle so that I would have early warning of pressure on the joint to dislocate. He also demonstrated the Charleston dance move ... lift knee in front rotate across the body foot up and back (I don't know the dance myself ...) but apparently that is how he put the new joint in so that would be the best way to get it out again. Useful to know. But surgeons vary with techniques so find out your own personal information!!! There are high risks of blood clots and this is not something to do on a whim. I loved getting fitter pre surgery with loads of meds and wish I had kept even fitter my whole life now. I did try but not hard enough I think. What is the Best Diet for Humans, Eran Segal, RU-vid. Keeping weight perfect is a good idea!! Good luck everyone.

This is what I needed before my hip replacement. I did all my own research after diagnosis. That helped me prepare physically and mentally for this procedure. This included chiropractor spinal assessment and posture strength training. Naturopath advice on supplements and nutrition plus a fitness trainer pre/post op who had experience rehabbing THR patients. Physiotherapist only gets you so far. The rest is up to the individual to focus on their life goals. I can't do pain snd disability- EVER. My joint problem 'stemmed' from work related damage. My surgeon and physiotherapist are amazed at my recovery. I had no restrictions put on me post op. I wanted to write a book called 'Getting Hip'

@scottermer384 3 года назад

Excellent advice. Any chance you could do a video on the difference in restrictions and recovery times between lateral/posterior, anterior and micro posterior(superpath). For example the superpath method :- surgery in the morning, out of hospital that evening, no restrictions, no possibility of dislocation. Posterior :- 5 days in hospital, 3 months off work(if physical) dislocatable. I have one of each of these operations on either side and the differences in function, restrictions and pain are significant.

@E3Rehab 3 года назад

Thanks for the info. I'm 34 with dysplasia, labral tear and osteoarthritis. Done all the pre surgery routes but think it's time for a replacement. I do, or did til recently, keep very active. You mentioned that crossing legs might be a risk of dislocation. One of my hobbies is ice skating. The technique to go to the left or right is a crossover where there's a degree of stretch between both legs. Essentially the left leg stays in position while the right foot is in line with left shoulder and pointing at 45 degrees to the left. Would this be a no go after a full replacement? Thanks

@bryancarvo3070 Год назад

I am 20 years old. I've had hip dysplasia all of my life. Doctor had to construct a new hip socket (left side) to put the femur bone in higher up on my pelvis. This caused my left leg to be significantly shorter than my right, therefore causing a huge limp. Also was told I have arthrits in my hip which I can greatly feel every single day of my life (sucks), making it very hard/uncomfortable to walk. Also have very limited range of motion and cannot tie my left shoe/bend down on that side. Ontop of that, my right leg, I can only bend to 75 degrees. While these are all of my issues, I still love to ski. I am obsessed with skiing. Doctors have told me that if I get this hip replacement surgery I may never be able to ski again due to some potential risks. At this point, idk how I am skiing with a completely busted hip/knees, and feel like a replacement will only help. I am sick and tired of living with this issue because it also takes a huuuge toll on my mental health (insecure about my intense limp) and extreme discomfort in walking which completely destroys my daily mood and confidence since I am also a college student. Gonna see my doctor next month so will see what the plan is but I hope I can get the replacement surgery soon...parents want to wait until I am off their insurance, and then I can have it done lol (which will be another 5 years). No waay I am waiting that long....

Hi Dr Marc, thank you to you all at E3 Rehab for this excellent video content, and in particular for this information about THR. I had a THR 8 weeks ago and I am working hard on the rehab. I have a question related to your other video about doing 10,000 steps a day. I am used to doing 15,000 steps a day, but I wondered if I should cut this back now and do, say, 5,000 steps a day, and augment this with some low intensity cardio work in the gym on the elliptical, rowing, stair climber etc. I want to preserve my hip prosthesis for as long as possible (I am 49yrs), and have been reading the research papers around prosthesis wear, but they only seem to go up to about 5 million steps, which isn't really very much in the great scheme of things! If you have examined this point, I would welcome your thoughts. Peace!

@E3Rehab 3 года назад

Hi, Louise! I think one of the biggest mistakes after a THR is people trying to do TOO much TOO soon. You should be able to get back to 15,000 steps per day without issue (I did it yesterday!), but it might take some time to get there. Early on, you want to minimize swelling, maximize wound healing, and minimize flare ups which are all accomplished by not overdoing it. I don't know the exact step count you should do, but it's probably as simple as you think it is - just do a little more over time until you're back hitting your goal. You sound motivated and fit so I'm sure you'll be back at it in no time!
