Did you know that you can start a discussion?
I would suggest that you go to the Joint Replacements group:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/joint-replacements/
And start one asking about using your specific stimulator after a hip replacement. Perhaps someone in that group has tried it and will respond to you.
And be sure to talk to your surgeon about when it might be safe to do this.
Just FYI, after my latest (shoulder) surgery, the recovery protocol was very specific. Use ice, anti-inflammatories, Tylenol and prescribed pain medications for the first 2 months. No heat, massage, stimulators, vibration devices, acupuncture or myofascial release near the surgical site with physician approval.
The doc is a highly regarded expert with a high success rate, so I didn't question the advice.
