Total hip replacement - What to expect for recovery

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no quick fix on healing faster. I had my hips replaced in December of 2020, 26 days apart. Just make sure you ice and do your exercises. Nobody prepares you for the numbness in the thigh. It's going to take time for that to go away, so don't stress if it's not going away as fast as you had hoped. It took me 18 to 24 months to feel like I never had my hips replaced, but so worth the healing time. Just as my hips started to feel great my knees went bad. So now I'm recovering from 2 total knee replacements, right one 20 weeks and left 13 weeks out. I wish there was a secret to healing faster but it definitely takes time. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I had my total hip replacement surgery March 1 of this year. So I'm six months down the road. I did the pt and was doing well, then started having so much pain in hip that I quit pt. I still have horrible pain in the hip. Drs. doing MRI Sept. 11 to see if there's a problem in my back. I wish I could get some relief. Nothing really helps. I'm frustrated.
