Hip replacements for fractured hip due to osteoporosis

I don’t mean to minimize hip replacement surgery as it is quite intense. Probably best not to watch a video of the procedure ahead of time as I did. The recovery takes a bit, too. I’ve been very happy with my outcome and it restored me to an active lifestyle.
I have been very fortunate with osteoporosis meds, too. I have had Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity, and now Reclast with no problems.
It feels obnoxious to keep posting this.

Your example with a recovery after hip operation certainly gives a support and hope for many other OP patients meeting different challenges. Good luck in your road!
I wonder how difficult it was to restore a muscle function in the hip. Could you describe please how you did it?
I am lying in bed with knee cup fracture, and my leg is immobilized. In several weeks I expect that my hip muscles will be terribly weakened, as I am prohibited to walk or put any weight on the leg. Unfortunately I have not started to take OP medicines, putting my hope in resistance training, walking, etc. All that I cannot do now.
Thanks.
