I gotta say though the hardest part is a week or two after the surgery. It was the most difficult and painful part of the process and it is very important to have someone there to help you because you can’t do it alone. I constantly moved around with Walker to prevent blood clots. Oh yeah, taking a shower is going to be a challenge and make sure to get the sock puller upper.😊

For me, it is just the first round... I need to do the other hip replacement and wandering how much time it will take to forget the pain and all the incoveniences (for example, it was driving me crazy when I walked with a walker not being able to carry anything from one room to another).

Can I ask how old your husband was at time of surgery. Dr wants to do hip replacement on me I'm terrified. I'm 62 and I have bone on bone. Osteoarthritis, torn acl and meniscus in both knees. I have so much pain in moving my n right leg. Hip injection has helped for a couple months. But...I just had foot surgery 6weeks ago and have been no weight bearing so had to depend on my right leg. I'm so frustrated with this foot surgery because I've lost my independence and I'm very depressed. So anything you might know please tell me. I'm not wanting the surgery but if my pain doesn't get better that's what will happen

What a supportive husband ❤ we all need someone like that in our lives ❤

A small tip for people who are having trouble getting in and out of bed and have a hard time using the leg lift strap- I sat at the end of my bed and scooted backwards, using my arms and non-surgical leg to propel myself in small scoots, backwards, into my bed. Then as I scooted back, the bed itself lifted up my surgical leg for me. It was a lifesaver when my caretakers were not present to help put the lifting strap on my foot❤ I figured out how to do it, out of necessity, after my labral repair surgery. And then 13 years later, I practiced doing it before my total hip replacement, to make sure that my shoulders and arms were strong and stable enough to help propel my body backwards onto the bed again. If you are currently pre-surgery, you may want to practice this technique, just in case.

I have a high bed. I haven't had hip surgery yet, neither is it scheduled. But my hip has taken a turn .... to pain. Dr said my xrays show that I'm there, but only when I can't live with pain. I have a step stool and hopefully before I get surgery, I will practice getting into the bed, or actually, I might use a spare bedroom with lower bed. But that was a good suggestion altho my main bed has a footboard. Thanks to all discussing their experiences. I am currently dieting as I really need to loose weight before this ever happens.

I was recovering from that really well. . . until I woke up in late-December with throbbing pain in the left hip, groin pain, just the works. A cortisone injection in January did nothing. Spent March through September in PT. The grating and grinding in the joint grew steadily more pronounced and painful over the course of the year. I’ve managed to stay fairly active with Pilates and occasional walks up until a week ago. Hoping that serves me well. Hoping, too, that this procedure gives me an opportunity to reclaim my life. These last three days pre-op with no NSAIDs have been tough. It is time. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It is a lovely inspiration.

Though my doctor has put me on the waiting list for a replacement (here in Norway the wait is long🇳🇴), I am still on the fence. I am 69 years of age and I can hardly walk without pain, I’m still able to conduct 3 yoga classes each week (haha, I just omit pigeon pose and a few balancing asanas on the effected side) with little trouble. My fear is not being able to get back to teaching for fear of reduced mobility in a replacement ball socket.

Thank you, thank you Sherri! I am 77 and had my left hip replaced posterior 14 months ago. My muscles have not recovered even after all the PT and I have been on a walker all this time. I just had my right hip replaced anterior and what a difference. I am way behind you recovery schedule but your success gives me hope.

Wow, interesting to hear you found a difference. I was always told they were both fairly equal methods. I wonder if your left hip didn’t recover that well because you were still having problems with your right hip?? Maybe now that both are new joints, you can be on a solid road to a more complete recovery. I hope so! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi Sherri, I very happy with your presentation very informative. Well I had a Right hip 2 years ago which I could ID with your experience as well! As luck would have it I’m having my Left hip total replacement on 9/12/23 I had PT, 3 series of injections started to work. I had a CT scan and it showed that my hip is deteriorating from the inside out and she said it’s would be very bad for the hip to fracture and that would be a very bad day! I just couldn’t handle the Pain Anymore!!!😢

My hip is weaker w/ less flexibility than the other side, and I constantly have to stretch and exercise it to keep it from tightening up, but it’s all worth it for me! Perhaps, if you do stronger physical therapy in the beginning, you can get your muscles and scar tissue all under control, which I apparently didn’t do! Sending 🙏🏼 for a great surgery!

Thank you for your story! I can relate. I'm 63 years old and went several years with terrible left hip pain and lower back pain. I've had five back surgeries and will need another one. I will be having my right hip replaced on May 23rd. Although I am sick of surgery and hospitals, my experience with the anterior hip replacement was great! I think it was because I was very active prior to the surgery, working out three times a week. Of course, as the pain increased, I modified my workouts, but I kept at it. Believe or not, I'm looking forward to get the right hip replaced. My left hip healed very quickly although the outside of my thigh is a little numb and I do have some pain on the left side in the mornings. I was told that it takes about two years for complete healing. My sister who is two years older had both hips and knees replaced in 2020 and 2021. After the first hip replacement, she wasn't healing and it was discovered that her femur broke, so she had a revision which has caused some issues. Falling was not the cause of the break. Apparently she has weak bones and it just happened. Again thank you for your story. It is important to let people know our experiences with this procedure. I think it can lessen fear!

This was my story as well!! Best thing I ever did.

thank you for the video diary. It is so helpful to see and hear your journey. I'm beginning to realize that it was wise to have both hips replaced before they put me in a wheelchair. Yoga hurt but I pushed because the alternative was doing nothing and I would not do that. I did yoga right up until my 1st surgery 6 months ago. I waited 2 months and did the second. I'm back to yoga and weightlifting and slowly getting back my flexibility. Hopefully at the one year mark in March 2023 I will have forgotten all about my hips and will be rollerblading in the park.

I also had a total hip replacement. Had been struggling to walk. Had the replacement on Saturday and out the day after. Had to pay since our nhs waiting list was 12-15months and I had been getting worse. Had been fearful of everything to do with the hospital stay. I think that the last time I was in hospital was when I was 6, so the unknown was scary. But it was painless. Had a sort of epidural but had screen between op and head! Gave me something to relax and enjoyed listening to sinead O'connor! If you are struggling, don't be scared and get it done. Am on to exercises now. Tired but on the mend on crutches.

Hey Sherri, thank you for your post. I’m 39 headed into my first major surgery ever. It’s a total hip replacement. I’ve had mobility issues for 2 years. The last year I’ve experienced all the symptoms you’ve had. I cannot imagine having these symptoms for 10+yrs. I’ll be going in for the other hip 6 weeks after my first surgery. If my stars are aligned and I have no complications. It’s been a dark 2 years, though I’ll probably never run the distances I’ve gone previously, might not have the same strut, it’s re-assuring to see how you’ve grown into a new reality. Greatly appreciated.
