@teemarie, pt is great when the pain is a normal part of the healing process. With me, I had complications and pain well above normal at 4 weeks. I had to stop pt all together, surgeons instructions. I'm 8 months post op posterior and have left my surgeon for another, still no pt, but I have taken my care very seriously and tried hard to learn what is best for my hip that just won't work properly. Walking I can do, hiking I can do, most things I can do if I do them slowly and with caution. There's something wrong inside my hip, pt is not going to fix it. Pain management is a challenge, sleep is a bigger one. I've been dealing with hip pain for so many years. My point, don't feel you have to do pt, listen to your body. There are many good articles you can google that preach against aggressive pt. At 12 weeks I was a depressed mess, no pt, pain, trouble doing everything. I've gotten better by staying as active as I can, my outlook is better now, still working thru it but with less pain. Keep moving.
