Checking in --- almost one year report

Juno · June 14, 2014, 07:19:09 PM

Hello all,

I am just reporting in --- I am almost one year post op on my right hip and 6 mos post op on the left. The last 4 weeks I have seen significant improvements and I'm doing great. I figured that I'd give the hips a bit of hell this week and see how they held up. Here's what I did in 7 days: 5 high intensity aerobic classes, 3 spin classes, 3 yoga classes, 2 body pump weight classes and walked 58 miles (total per my FitBit)! I feel great!! No pain, no issues, a little clunking occasionally in the right hip but it is minor.

Please know that while every day is better, I do modify as needed and that my ROM is just now slowly beginning to return to semi-normal (ok, normal to me is where I was 2-3 years ago pre osteoarthritis). External rotation is still a challenge, but is getting better.

Is am so grateful for this surgery and to Dr. Gross and his team. I turn 50 this year and I have my life back!
