Thank you. I don’t intent to run marathons in the future. 😥I am doing strength training with PT professionals. After hearing from several people, I’m at ease as to what to expect.

My right hip replacement was 8 months ago. It has been a journey. My hospital stay and surgery was perfect. When I got home, I really struggled for the first two weeks. It was discouraging. Then I turned a corner and could wean off pain meds and put my socks and shoes on by myself!
PT 3 times a week which went great.
Now, I am having pain in that thigh. I’ve also become very tentative with my walking. I wonder if the thigh pain is from those severed muscles and nerves coming back? That area has been dead until now.
Also, I watched a video of a hip replacement. OMG. Not for the faint heated. It does remind you of how extreme this surgery is.
