My surgery was on 8/3/20 with the anterior approach which was great since they didn't cut through muscle. No PT, just exercises at home and walking. I have no restrictions and back to work putting in about 17,000 steps a day but I am still very stiff and have painful muscles (part of this may be from my Fibromyalgia). This is apparently normal so I keep on moving. Next one will be done on 11/3/20. Looking forward to being done with both and hunkering down with my elliptical. 😉

How did your second replacement go?

One issue I have had six weeks since hip surgery is a sudden episode of knee and shin pain on the right hip side that was replaced.. Have arthritics in both knees but haven't had this pain before. Waiting or a Dr visit to determine what is going on. Some comments indicate that if your leg had been shorter due to hip issues that getting the right length back and learning the proper walking gait again may create some temporary knee issues that seem related to the knee patella.
