Hi Gang, I am lucky enough to have slim , boyish hips (woman age 60) .
my op was 9 weeks tomorrow .
my op hip feels more pronounced than other side , not swollen .
Is this normal ?

I am able to bend to put them and socks on , am very careful.
Starting physio tomorrow so hope to get some reassurance .
going out without crutches now but do limp slightly after a while and still have some pain around joint and across front of thigh.
Think I am doing ok considering I have myself and 94 year old dad to look after , but bless him he thinks he is helping me !!!!

Everyone seems to have their own outcome on this surgery. My surgical hip is not quite as flat as the other but only I can tell, in my case, my real hip was so deteriorated it was poking out worse than it is now and making my leg shorter. l would give it some more time to heal. At about 3 months I noticed things started feeling different to me suddenly, I could feel the implant more and realized I had been swollen still internally. It takes a long time to heal.
Good luck

I know it's terribly disappointing for you. I would definately see a different doctor. One that specializes in hips.
Good luck to you.
