[kings]

hi I am 6 weeks post opp and getting about ok without any walking sticks still a bit sore but generally ok how soon will I be able to use a cross trainer every day for about 30 min also walk hills and mountains ime worried I will  cause damage to hip resurfacing is there anyone that has been doing all these things for years after hip opp without any problems,thanks kings.

I had mine resurfaced in 2006 and I play soccer now. I know someone who ran the marathon 3 months after surgery! Now, I would not advise that, but I think after 6 months you should be able to do a lot of those activities, with no problem. In my experience you would still be gaining strength for up to 1 year after the op. Have fun!
