Total hip replacement - What to expect for recovery

Hi again!

First day without my cane. So far so good. I’m making sure my gait is normal.

Starting PT this week. Will get guidance on when I cam return to the gym. (I looked back, and it’s been 6 mos, largely due to the pain in my hip. That’s gone now with my implant.)

My doctor may order an X-ray to make sure the implant has seated properly, but I believe I’ll be ready to rock my month end.

Onward!
Bill

My surgeon did a six month review with X-Rays to make sure that everything is okay. One interesting fact: my surgeon did not want me to do a lot of walking for the first five weeks but said that bike riding was fine. I guess the bike riding doesn't put the same stress on the implant and the bones growing around it.
