I had a right hip replacement November 2022. It was easy peasy. Very little pain. Physical therapy a must every day. I still doing PT 5 days a week and yoga one day a week. The worst part of recovery for me was my surgeon insisted on me strapping this V shaped foam device between my legs so I couldn’t inadvertently cross them while sleeping. I haven’t talked to anyone else that had to do this though.

flyjim, I had to do something very similar to that. I was told to put a pillow between my legs when laying on my right side only....because I had the left hip done. Think I had to do that for at least a couple of weeks.
