Thank you for welcoming me to the group. And thank you for passing my message along to the joint replacement and neuropathy groups. Yes, I will be having my hip replacement done next month in Mid May. I guess its not unusual to be a little fearful of a major surgery with my disadvantage of existing idiopathic peripheral neuropathy going in. Was just hoping to get some guidance from some others who have had similar issues. Thank you again for your help.

@lenzo I hope things go great with your hip replacement. I know two people who have had them within the last year and both of them have done great. They did not have peripheral neuropathy though, just arthritis in their hips.
My brother in law was back taking long walks with my sister very shortly after the THR. He is somewhat thin and I think that helped, not having any extra weight. If you are overweight at all I would suggest trying to lose a few pounds between now and May. I know, it's not much time, but every little bit helps.
