Is anyone past that time yet? Will this tight feeling in my hip eventually go away? I don't have pain however, I still can't walk a long way without the tight feeling bothering me.Anyone over 6 months???? Dr said after 6 months I'll feel great??????

Had mine done end of October 2015, so yes.
Had revision 7 Jan 2016, so no.
Tightness - not really experienced this.
I do get pains in my upper thigh still if I overdo it, and get very tired very quickly this time around.
Do you massage your scar? I use aqueous cream, non smelly, also great for those with skin that is sensitive.

Glad it's feeling better, so many things happen to us in this recovery, we all seem to get different pains and symptoms.

But what can I do to change it? Not much. I can't exactly get in there and give him a hand can I? Being very practical, I bet I could move it if I could get at it !!!
I was immediately weight bearing, and there has been no pain from the actual joint, just the thigh muscles which is normal.
So, ever the gentleman, I am now resigned to it, and 7 weeks into my second recovery.

I had severe tightness at around 6-7 weeks in my thigh, it was my muscle that was rigid and too tight. My physio sorted out it out to my surprise and joy, with one simple (but painful) massage and released the tension there.
If you can pinpoint where it is....so you can decide if it is muscular (which can be fixed quite easily usually) or the joint...also I think alot of this depends on how much you are doing and for how long.
