I had a complex THR at the end of January. Surgery was a breeze - recovery brutal. Just met wth my surgeon for a 3 1/2 month post op. He said things could not have gone better. I had an excellent surgeon at one of the best hospitals in the country for orthopedics. The surgeons analysis comes from looking at the x-rays. If the x-rays are good then the results are considered good. I have pain in my thigh from time to time and recently pain in my groin. These things are considered normal for some of us. I am going to cut down on the p/t that I have been doing at home seven days a week twice a day hoping that the groin pain might go away. Not really hopeful though. I am also on the treadmill and averaging about 7500 steps a day in total. In all of my reading, walking is considered the best exercise after a hip replacement. The treadmill is safe and I started out slowly. Your exercise routine seems a bit light to me as I am 74 years old, have had three DVT's, etc. etc. Of course checking in with your surgeon is your top priority. I would also ask if increasing your exercise might be recommended. Good Luck.
