Last week consultant advised I would NEVER be able to do everything I did prior to 1st total hip replacement! Would always have to maintain the 90 degree rule and always be aware of twisting body and not cross legs!  To me, this means I will never be able to get down to do my toe nails, pick up from floor naturally or do anything that would jeopardise the 90 degree angle!  Can this be accurate? Please help!

    Hi Vonnie ...

    Great  feedback ... I don't understand why some of the "professionals" are so inconsiderate and blunt ... so in contradiction as well ...

    Like Mic said: Plan your own recovery path ..

    Listen to your body and be mindful - You are still in the early stages of healing ...

    be gentle with your self -
