Happy new year everyone.

Time for a short experience report.

26 Nov 2025: right hip resurfacing (ReCerf ceramic-on-ceramic).

Me: 57, 198 cm, marathon runner. Goal: Boston Marathon, April 2026. Pain-free, not heroic.

Week 6 reality:
– Arthrosis pain: completely gone
– Limp: history
– Hiking, uneven terrain, stepping over trees, pulling huskies: no problem
– Operated leg: bit weaker, especially lateral/rotational stuff
– After long sitting: stiff, fixes itself in a few steps
– Night pain only if I sleep on my side
– Occasional “tennis ball in the hip” feeling (soft tissue + confused brain, not the implant)

Verdict:
The joint is ahead of schedule.
Muscles and capsule are not.
That gap is normal and annoying, but manageable.
Boston countdown: ~20 weeks.
No PB dreams. Just running without pain.
So far, the hip seems very cooperative.
