      I actually think that I had forgotten what it was like to be pain free! I just cannot describe this.

      courage jennifer. Im 6 weeks ost op and it is hard to descibe the defference when you dont have a constant pain

      i have a high pain threshold but even still there is a remarkable difference! I was walking with 1 crutch on day 2 and no crutchs day 3

      I started easy into rehab and used almost no pain meds maybe for the first 4 days I used 1 each night to assure a good sleep..

      So although some have more pain and take a little longer to recover dont let it bog you down! Take heart and know that mostly people do really well

    Wow!! That is amazing and definitely gives hope to those of us yet to get our new hip(s).  Did you have anterior or posterior approach?

    Enjoy!!

      I had posterior approach due to a dysplastic hip. Takes a little longer to heal but, oh well. It's already so worth it!
