Time, time. My recovery has been so incremental that it's frustrating at times, but I've got to keep my eyes on the prize and compare myself to where I was 4 months ago when I was released from the hospital after my right hip revision. Sometimes it even feels like PT is a setback, so I schedule PT appointments 3 weeks apart so I have some time to build strength and get used to new exercise routines.
Swelling has also been an issue, but with compression hose and time there really has been a difference. I'm just about to turn 61 and this has been my third (and final, my surgeon tells me) hip replacement/revision. I'll be happy to keep what I've got, even with limited mobility and some discomfort.

Good luck to you
I feel that the PT helps me get stronger
I am almost 74 and have had numerous (12) hip revisions in the past 20 years
The one on 8/15 is my last!!!!!
This is a long recovery since last August 2022 it dislocated and had a spacer but I am so anxious to be able to walk again
I have no pain

I agree. My PT was too aggressive and set me back a bit. I realize I am only 2+ weeks out of surgery, but I am disappointed that I cannot put full weight on my operated leg and still need to take Tylenol.
Can’t imagine going through numerous times. Hope this one is a charm.
