Some encouragement for people recovering from thr I had my hip replacement in August 2014 and can't believe the difference it has made to my quality of life.

I now forget all about my new hip as I rush round my supermarket after carrying out an 8 hour physical shift at work.

And best of all I sleep soundly all night with no pain!!! amazing.

    Hi Jacqueline63272, i think you mean 14 weeks post op.

    Actually, since you had it in August 2014, you're only about 4 weeks post op.

    Unless you meant last years hip replacement.

    Be careful how you move with your new hip, you wouldn't want to dislocate it in anyway. But I can say this congrats on your progress.

    I also had a hip replacement on July 17, 2014 which today is 11 weeks post op.

    I only counting the day of the week i had surgery on as a one week interval rather than the date.

    Good luck, on your recovery.
