Cannot lift my leg after hip replacement

I had the same problem after hip replacement. I think the femoral nerve was injured and couldn't lift the leg for months I had intensive PT and got some strength back. It took a long time 2 yrs to heal. Water therapy is good it is easier to lift your leg when in the water and doesn't hurt as much. Hang in there.

Thank you for replying back. I am doing pool therapy now on my own. It feels good in the pool and I can lift in the pool but when trying to bend down to put pants on or even trying to lift it onto the bed, it’s painful I have to manually help it onto the bed. It’s frustrating. I see my surgon next month and next month will be a year, on Sept 7th
