4 Weeks 2nd Hip Update
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi all just an update for interested people I am now at four weeks.
This is my second Hip Replacement and at the moment all is going very well.
I can walk about indoors with no stick, and make the stairs normally now, not one step at a time, and using painkillers sparingly. It has been a quicker healing than the first one.
It would be nice to know anyone's thoughts about that. I am using a stick on the street still.
I can lie on the right side for sleeping, my first one, but not on the left, second one.
I do practice just for a change of sides but 30 mins is enough at the moment.
At last my legs measure up the same, calves and thighs, my left had lost quite a bit but has grown back quicker than the right one did, I am beginning to feel my old self at last.
Two weeks on sick left, then a 3 day working week, 2 days off, then back to normal 5,to 7 in a row, getting my life back ....It has been quite a year.
Thanks for looking in again.
Cheers for now will update again soon.
Few shots from Blackpool, hope you like them.....
Ian.

I read your posts with interest as I'm a few weeks behind you on hip number 2. I often think that I'm not doing as well this time around but tbh, I'm struggling to remember what stage I did what last time around. I'm a week post op yesterday and still getting quite a lot of pain and stiffness and I'm afraid to say, sort of clicking and cramp type pains. Am I worrying over nothing? I really can't remember where I was at at just over a week. I hit on the idea of looking over my posts on here from last time but I didn't register until I was 10 days post op so that didn't help much lol.
I'm inspired by your recovery this time around and as these ops are generally successful, I see no reason why I shouldn't follow in your footsteps, so to speak.
Keep posting as of course we are interested and all of posts help someone, somewhere.

When did you have first hip done? I am afraid that I will have to have other hip done eventually as it is starting to act up now but I can still reach my foot to put on it's shoe and sock so all is not bad,haha.
Good luck to you!

I'm just behind you with 2nd hip replacement (3 weeks tomorrow). No daytime painkillers now, just paracetamol at night time . using one stick indoors and walking a mile with two sticks daily round the park. After a horrible year the future is seeming brighter - just feeling a bit down for no real reason - but hoping that will pass . hope your recovery continues well.
