I had my right hip replaced 1 week ago today and planned on an eight week recovery time frame. Here's my issue, my hip already feels better than prior to surgery. I'm ambulating with a cane performing all adl' myself including showering and walking dogs. My job (nurse) requires no lifting , plenty of time to sit. I am transferjng in and out of my suv with no issues. Here's the question. I'm using all hip precautions, taking Tylenol only for pain, am I crazy to want to return to work and should I? Ps I even think I could drive..opinions appreciated.
