Has anyone had the SuperPATH hip replacement procedure?

I just had the STAR procedure at HSS 5 days ago and also had a torn laberum (which I ran on for 2 years) plus a lot of degeneration in my hip. it’s so great and encouraging to hear you are doing so well, and walking with no pain after a month. I’m wondering how you felt after 5 days. I also have no precautions but I have pain when the Tylenol runs out and my PT wants me to still use the cane/walker to perfect my gait. I don’t feel like I’m walking evenly yet without the cane. Maybe due to surgical swelling and maybe it takes a few more weeks? How long did it take until you felt like you were walking evenly without assistance? TIA

@everydaystronger My wife had STAR at HSS exactly 6 weeks ago by Dr Jonathan Vigdorchik.
Even though she was extremely fit, she was very sore and uncomfortable for about a month - although she took ZERO painkillers and couldn’t take the anti inflammatory. This happrns sometimes - the bigger and stronger the muscles, the more they suffer!
But she suddenly turned the corner and is immensely better. Her post op check up was ‘perfect’ and she is once again using the elliptical machine on low level…gonna be fine!
