Total hip replacement - What to expect for recovery

Posted by cak11555 @cak11555, Nov 29, 2018

I am having a total right hip replacement in six weeks. My surgeon leaves me to believe that I will be up and around in a few days, just no kitchen work. The physical therapist who came to evaluate me before hand felt I needed exrended care after surgery. What has been others experience following this kind of surgery? How has recovery gone for you?

Has anyone had hip repair surgery after a hip fracture? I had 3 pins (screws) placed in left hip 5 years ago, and have had daily pain every day since! It is very frustrating! I have had several steroid injections in the hip, the relief lasts about a week. Help!
