Wow!! That is amazing and definitely gives hope to those of us yet to get our new hip(s).  Did you have anterior or posterior approach?

Enjoy!!

Hi Cindy,

That's FANTASTIC! I'm day 8 and am not far behind you, I slept til 4.30am this morning which I'm delighted with. Also had my dressing changed yesterday and my scar looks great. My operated leg still feels really heavy but for day 8 it's all looking really good.

Hi Cindy that is fantastic news.  It must be so nice not to be in any more pain.  

17

That's amazing news to hear.

Feels great doesn't it?!? Hope you continue to feel no pain!

You deserve it after all you have been through and put up with.x

I think I had forgotten what being pain free feels like! Unbelievable. I didn't realize until now just how painful OA can be!

I actually think that I had forgotten what it was like to be pain free! I just cannot describe this.

courage jennifer. Im 6 weeks ost op and it is hard to descibe the defference when you dont have a constant pain

i have a high pain threshold but even still there is a remarkable difference! I was walking with 1 crutch on day 2 and no crutchs day 3

I started easy into rehab and used almost no pain meds maybe for the first 4 days I used 1 each night to assure a good sleep..

So although some have more pain and take a little longer to recover dont let it bog you down! Take heart and know that mostly people do really well
