Absolutely loving my new hip, it really is coming up trumps!! Next challenge-back on horse back!! X

I'm really glad for you - well done!  How far on are you?

I had my left hip done on 09/04/15.

When have they said you can do that?  Have a friend with two new hips who went back to touring on a motorbike.

Anytime now. Unfortunately I had to retire my own horse due to arthritis so I need to find a steady one to begin with. My friend has offered me hers. I really want to get back to competitive riding again as I am only 34 and there was no point having it done unless I was going to get my life back.x

Wow, that's amazing. I have just 'retired' at 52 from working with  small children because my consultant said that up and down off the floor would wear out me new hips. I have no wish to be back for revisions quicker than I need to but feel a bit 'on the shelf' so to speak.

I am wondering what other people have been told about more extreme positions/exercise etc after having new hips?

Just as a complete aside. I was writing my comment and noticed the ads at the side. I know they tailor adverts now for groups and preferences but there was Senna tablets, Veet (as if I can get down that far yet) , and The Ashes on Sky tv - I really must change my life a bit!

My surgeon was very much "you have to live for the now" I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and I am also a vet nurse that works nights. Given my age, I refuse to let my operation stop me from doing activities especially with the children etc, after all that's why I had the op.x

warm hug
