Newly replaced hip dislocated after 4 weeks.

I had anterior THR 10 days ago. I walk without walker and am able to bend my knee up to my chest enough to put on socks, pants. If I bend down to pick something up, I do it quickly...not stretching it. My PT guy in hospital said bc I had anterior process, bending forward to pick something up on floor was not a problem. Main no-no was crossing legs, surgery foot/leg turned outward, and leaning over with surgery leg stretched to the back.
My most important advise...Ice, ice, ice. Move around every hour, and Rest.
I am in good shape and will begin PT in 4 days.

Good for you Frannee!
It's been 5 months since my THR, 4 months since dislocating it. It's all good now. I am very cautious when bending more than 90 degrees, although I think that isn't the same risk it was 4 months ago.
Overall, joint replacement is a miracle of medicine, imo. My life is so much better without that pain!.
Take care Frannee, and thanks again!
Joe
