I had anterior THR in January 2025. My nerve pain stopped after about 4-5 months if I recall the timeframe correctly. I'm 1.5 years post op and only lately have I felt confident that I will not dislocate or mess up my new hip, even though someone in the orthopedic department a few months ago, told me I would be okay because scar tissue was built up enough that I could be active. I'm glad I had it done and I am swimming and I bicycle ride outdoors without overdoing it ( 30 - 45 minutes at a moderate pace). I took Lyrica a few years ago for the nerve pain associated with that arthritic hip and I gained 17 pounds on it and was feeling scatter brained on Lyrica, which made me not be able to concentrate very well at work in a highly detailed and stressful job. I retired nearly three years ago due to a job layoff. As well, I developed plantar fasciitis (PF) in my foot on the opposite side of the operated hip. The PF isn't getting better quickly. It started about 4 or 5 months post op of the hip. My foot doctor doesn't know if the PF is related to the hip surgery and I never have asked my surgeon or his assistant if it's related. I'm 70 years, 11 months old .
