Doc has signed me off for another month. She is a bit worried about the pain I am getting....especially as I have had no pain since the op. If it doesnt go by next Monday I have to go back and she will arrange x-rays...just incase.
Hi Chris,
I'm only at five weeks but am happily walking 2-4 miles per day.
I'm also exercising 2-3 time a day but not lifting much weight at all, probably 20kgs max for squatting with a gym ball at by back for a little extra stability.
Cardiovascular, such as a static bike, is fine.
I too occasionally get very tired for no apparent reason but just put it down to the general trauma of the surgery.
I would definitely take it very easy on the weights mate, my surgeon told me before surgery that I was going to have rein myself in for the first 6 months, particularly where squatting or similar was involved, with anything other than light weights.
He explained that the first 6 months you are at risk of the dreaded femoral head fracture and over-stressing this area with extra weights should be avoided at all costs.
Good luck mate and I hope it all works out for you.
Sure to turn out to be a blip because you're overdoing it a bit, we all do it as we feel better
