I am 8 weeks post anterior Right hip replacement. For the first several weeks, I had thigh pain that seemed to be nerve pain. That has gone away however I am now (past 2 weeks) waking up at night with a dull aching pain. I am going to PT twice a week. Every thing is going well with therapy and I have no problems walking. I also have good ROM. I have started taking a Tylenol PM and a regular Tylenol before bed. I talked to a number of people in addition to my doctor before the surgery. They all indicated it would be a relatively quick(4 week) recovery. My recovery was hindered by post surgery anemia. I was active prior to the surgery walking 3-5 miles several times a week and working out at the gym. I think I underestimated the toll surgery would take on my body.
