Looking for holistic diet rest massage any type of therapies that are available I need to feel whole again what kind of timeline can I expect.

Hello, I see you have just joined our group. We are a community of people living with many challenging conditions, supporting each other along the way.
When you mention nerve damage, is it in the newly replaced hip, or the older one? It is normal for the nerves to be upset and angry after a hip replacement, in my 5 surgeries, it ranged from very mild to extremely challenging. Nerves heal and/or regenerate very slowly and that healing does not even begin until at least a month after surgery. My most painful nerve took over 6 months to heal completely.
Having 2 major surgeries in 6 months is a lot for one body. When I did it, my life was basically focused on therapy, ice, rest, healthy diet with lots of protein for rebuilding, therapy, ice and walking. I had PT with focus on walking correctly (gait training) and strengthening. I had limped for many years when my hips were bad, and this got me moving correctly and got rid of long term back pain.
