Hi all
well had my check up now discharged from consultant told to look after new hips and they will last 15+ years. Explained about movement in left hip compared to right again told me it will come in time and to do exercises and move around.
do feel alittle alone in the fact how do i know if something is wrong? Surgeon said i will know when hips are not right

congratulations on your discharge, I get that you feel like you have been set adrift but with all on the support on this forum I bet that feeling will go very soon. The doctors are always there and like they say I'm sure you know your body well enough now to know if something isn't quite right. Good luck and enjoy the freedom of movement x

Yea....sounds like things will be fine. Now, at 8 weeks I was advised by physio the 90 degree rule was relaxed.. and as was said earlier you'll have excruciating pain if things do do wrong...but this is unlikely very.
It's a fab operation....so enjoy the results!

I also had my 6wks post op check today and consultant was happy and said just go and do what you normally do, keep going with exercises to strengthen and walking, walking, walking!
It does feel a bit like I've lost my safety net but I can always contact the hospital or GP if I've any concerns. Consultant did say it can take 6 months to a year before full strength returns so I'm happy that I'm progressing normally and not feeling pressured to be back to normal yet, still walk with 1 stick.outside and have to actively concentrate on walking properly ie without limping!
But all In all I'm happy
Tracy :-)
