15 weeks post THR
Posted , 13 users are following.
Today it has been 15 weeks since my hip replacement. I still feel pain getting up, going up stairs and walking at a decent pace. I am 51 years old. I feel I walk without a limp most of the time. I have to focus after I get tired. I have been told time and time again it will get better. I am returning to my job January 5th. I work with children with Autism. I try to stay positive but am tired of the pain. Is there still hope to get rid of the pain in the future. I try diligently to keep up with my therapy exercises. Please give me input.

I am twelve weeks post THR. I still have some pain occasionally when I get up and sometimes while sleeping. But, besides the therapy exercises I also walk for exercise in my neighborhood, which has many small hills and inclines. It was hard the first time but now feels great! And the more I walk the better it feels. Remember not only do your bones have to heal but you need to get your muscles back to support that leg.
Good Luck,
Kathee

you've got lots of good advise on your page, Everyone heal at different stages, some quicker than others.
Am 8 months THR and just started to feel the bennefits of a long slow progresss, Just hang on in there try not to over do it and keep up with the exercises it do help and be careful when you go back to work, do not do any heavy lifting and do take regularly sitting down time, ask your doctor to write that on your return to word note.
Good Luck.
