Hi i had my right hip replaced just under 6 months ago and it is worse now than before the operation. i have to stand for about 30 seconds after getting up from chair before i can walk and i can only walk for about 200 metres before i give up due to the pain in my groin. My consultant says all is fine with the xrays and some people take longer to heal. I am 63 years old weigh slightly more than I should but have lost a stone on a mediteranian diet. i really am at the end of my tether as I need my left hip replaced once I'm fully recovered. Does any one have any suggestions as to what I can do to help myself. I.E private physio or aqua yoga or any one had same problem thank you
