Hip surgery possible aftermath

If you also have back problems, be SURE to ask doctor if he will consider changes to your pelvic mobility bc of stiff spine when he plans hip surgery. I have lumbar spine issues, starting with arthritis. My original surgeon did not account for this, so I'm going for 3rd surgery (new doc) after 7 dislocations. It's called hip-spine syndrome.

You do have to devote yourself to following hip precautions for quite awhile, but not forever as I understand it.

I did have an accident some years ago and sometimes the back hurts me as I walk. I guess I'm afraid of doctors. I'm afraid to ask him to take an MRI, and if he says it's not necessary I guess it might be time for me to keep looking? I'm getting pretty old -- but my body can't get better until I can walk/exercise without pain.

Hello, viatroy7. How are you feeling? I just got finally the hip surgery, it is my 4th day and I came home but am in a lot of pain, can't walk or move that leg too well.
