I’ve had a hip replacement two years ago. Had 3 major surgeries on my lumbar back. Had every injection, had ablations.
I have scoliosis. It has no bearing on having hip replacement surgery to my knowledge.
Hip surgery is easy peasy. Literally no post op pain.
Recovery for most is two months. A year or more before it starts to feel like you have all your strength back.
Physical therapy is an absolute must at minimum 3 days a week.

Thank you for letting me know all of this. I saw him yesterday and he was not concerned. He also said little or no PT which I was concerned about. Someone will come to the house when I get home (have to stay in the hospital one night). I'm only 61 and will address the PT with him again. I try to stay as active as I can each day dealing with this pain. I have to keep my legs and knees strong that is a MUST. I appreciate your response.
