I had my second hip done 7 weeks today,recovery has been a bit slower and still on one crutch and need some more physio.The good thing is my restrictions are lifted and the surgeon has told told me to get out and enjoy my life now and I can now drive.Hopefully going out to do some shopping tomorrow and start getting my life back. To anyone awaiting surgery go for it,its no picnic but hopefully you will be pain free!

      Sorry to hear that Angie. It seems that a lot of people on the forum have said that their 2nd hip doesn't always go so smoothly as the first. Hope you steadily improve.

      I am the same still have one crutch and limping but go to physio on Thursday but the consultant didn't seem concerned he said you will just find you don't need the crutch in a few weeks. He also said the second hip will always be weaker.I. Also we need to learn to walk again after limping for the last few years. Good luck tomorrow let me know how you get on x
