I had a right hip replacement on February 7, 2023. I was AMAZED that I really had NO PAIN after my surgery. I had waited almost 2 years (WITH PAIN) because I could NOT afford to quit work until the end of 2022. I was sure I would experience pain like I was having BEFORE the surgery immediately after the surgery, but I did NOT!!! The first night after surgery, I had NO PAIN ALL NIGHT LONG. I live in Northport, Alabama (suburb of Tuscaloosa, Alabama) and have an AWESOME doctor. EVERYBODY I had talked to about him before the surgery that had had surgery done by him, had told me how great he was, and he was everything I had heard about him and more. Don't be apprehensive, if you do what you are told to do and follow up with Physical Therapy, you will do wonderful!!!
