Hi

Well I suppose he knows what he is doing but it takes 6weeks of restrictions {never mind healing} where you cant twist, or bend and lots of things like that

Cant see how he'll do another hip replacement in 2 weeks without breaking the 90 degree rule

Good Luck

Hello,

Oh dear not sure if that's a good idea or not. as it's very traumatic. Personally speaking I think it's bad enough for the body to cope with one THR let alone two.

Good luck & keep us posted

Hi

After 2 weeks you will be able to put your weight on both ....yes but what about the restrictions or are the completely different?

I was not allowed to bend {past the 90 degree angle} for 6 weeks, had to sleep obn my back for 6 weeks, not allowed to twist, If I fot to the end of the room you had to make about 3 or  different motions to turn the opposite way. Not just the usual spinning round in one movement.

I do hope it works

Keep us updated

Hi

I'm in the UK so I suppose the rules are different.

Most of the hospitals here give you a booklet with all the DO's and Dont's and exercises to do.

Good Luck
