What physical therapy exercises did you do after hip replacement?

Sue, would you confirm you had “5” hip surgeries? And, if so, what age were you for your first? And, are you glad you had all 5 surgeries? The reason I ask is my son is 31 years old and an Orthopedic Surgeon told him he will need left hip replacement before he reaches 40. That will most likely mean, he will need another hip replacement surgery on the same hip 15 to 20 years from then. Thanks for your reply.

In reply to bigwellness….this is migizii….I had two previous hip surgeries (age 13,29) and I was told I would need THR by the time I was in my 40’s also. As it turned out, I didn’t have the surgery until I was 58. I will possibly need another one, as my family has long life genes, but one never knows for sure, when the surgery will exactly be needed. I am aware that exercise (not overdoing it) and maintains a healthy weight helped me considerably.
