Hello there.
My first hip replacement I waited 7 weeks. I have been told I will wit at least 6 months for my 2nd one. I’m on the waiting list. It’s horrendous, and so much damaged being caused to their joints whilst waiting.
Are you on the waiting list?

I needed a hip replacement in February 2020. Covid came along and all elective surgeries were canceled for a long time which was fine with me as I was terrified. Anyway I don’t think my joints were any worse off. I lost 10 pounds during that period of time and I did exercises for my hip every day for the 3 years prior ti surgery. You can be proactive.
