I feel great!!! I am having very little pain and can walk all day without getting worn down. I mentioned to someone the other day I just had my hip replaced 12 weeks ago and they did not believe me. I am getting around so good and pain free, I feel as if I have my life back!!!! I wish everyone's recovery was as good as mine...
Congratulations John, good to hear your positive news.
Cheers Richard
Great news John well done.
All of us hippies feel great a little while after the operation.
We get our lives back!!

Hi John,
So nice to hear successful stories like yours
I too did very well. At some point I will need my other hip replaced, and I won't hesitate to get it done.
Congrats and wishing you the best!
Hi John,
Congratulations, I'm at nine weeks and know how you feel.
Yesterday I arranged to have my bed,settee and toilet raisers taken back and for the first time I began to feel normal again and went for a long walk.
I'm going back to work on Monday on a phased return I.e 1 week on and a week off followed by 2 weeks on followed by a week off and then back full time.
It's so good to be pain free and get your life back again. I've started to enjoy walking which I hated before as it hurt so much.
I still do all my exercises every day as I've got into the routine and I still use a stick as a precaution.
On the whole it's great.
Hi John
I'm really pleased everything's gone so well it's nice to hear the good ones as I've read so many different experiences on hear I've scared myself out of having mine done. Xx
Hi joellynn28
i know exactly what you mean there's not enough good feed back on hear I've heard so many bad things I've talked my self out of having mine I'm glad your doing so well xx
That has given me the push I need to have mine done. I'm scared but I have no life I can't walk far so don't socialise at all apart from struggle to work
Wow what a wonderfully positive post to read especially as I'm still debating about having mine done at age 42.
Oh I'm so jealous lol I can't wait to have my hip done as I don't have a life now. I'm just nervous of the op as I have never had one
Hi Kimberley
i know exactly how your feeling I'm 37 and have had hip problems all my life I'm still debating if I should have it or not as there's been a lot of negative comments on hear and not many good ones so it is nice to hear the positives I hope you make the right decision xx
Dear Keren
I've been reminding on this forum for several weeks that a bad outcome is far from inevitable and have mentioned my own experience in case it helps you and others.
I had to wait about five years before I was allowed a hip operation but I was so bad that I could not continue to carry on with my self employment job.
Yes it was a frightening decision to gave to make especially as my wife af the time was less than supportive, but if you need a hip replacement there really is no alternative if you truly want an end to the pain
To continue if you truly want to end the pain and get your life back and who wouldn't then you should just move on and book your surgery.
Worried about the recovery, of course you are. I left hospital with two sticks only because they insisted but put one aside as soon as I was home . The second one only was used for a day or so and I was walking a mile a day within literally days and a couple of miles shortly afterwards.
Driving a manual car at six weeks and back to work at the same tine.
Just be confident and careful and try not to push faster than is right for you....only you can decide how fast you go as we are all different!
Good luck. Richard
