when and where for hip replacement

Had my right hip replaced in September 23 within 4 months everything was like normal, I was 76.. I go to the gym three times a week walk on the track twice a day every day my hip Isn’t an issue. Had my knee replaced in March 24 and that took a year and three months to get over. I do a hip any time.
Maybe you don’t have four months to recover.

My wife had both hips done. I did my knee almost a year to the date. Yup, hip recovery is lower pain, but no bending for a few weeks and more time with a walker or cane. I was going up and down stairs within a couple of days, but had high level pain (and little sleep) for about three weeks (I was warned about that). I started PT before surgery, and was diligent about afterward, and continue with many of the exercises today. At five weeks, I regained most of my range of motion. I was 90% recovered at 10 months and fully recovered now. Glad that my recurrent PCa didn’t rear up until this summer.

Jeff, thanks for the knee and hip report. We're really close to the same age FWIW.
Had left hip replaced Nov '24 and left Knee replaced Dec '24. Hip was no big deal.
But knee is still sore though improving so slowly. I guess I'm on the same ~15 month road as you followed. I'm glad to know I'm not such an outlier with this knee.
