Hi Bob

Welcome to Hip Talk.

I hope your recovery is quick and easy.  Who did your surgery?

I am sure you will feel you made the right decision in a few months when you start to be really active again.  It is great to be without pain and no needing all those meds.

Let us know how you are doing as time goes on.

Are you doing any PT yet? Are you still on crutches?

Pat,

Dr. James Verner did my surgery. Not sure how many he's done, but in the Detroit area, he's one of the more experienced with BHR and I would HIGHLY recommend him!!

I'm six weeks post-surgery today. I gave up any walking assistance (crutches/cane) after four weeks - about the time I started PT. PT is now three time a week. My only pain is from the muscles surrounding the incision and the hip area - but NOT the joint. I've been walking up to three miles daily (weather permitting). I still have stiffness after I've been sitting for a while, but it loosens right up. The strength is coming back slowly.
