Limping 10 weeks post hip replacement
Posted , 10 users are following.
I had my right hip replaced on Oct 30, 2017. Now, I can sleep on either side without pain. My post-op xray and discussion with my surgeon was good and the surgeon stated that no problems were seen with the xray
Now, every time I sit down for 10 minutes or more, I have pain and limp for about 6 or 7 steps and then I'm fine. In fact, I'm able to walk the dog for about a mile every morning. I do leg raises, lateral leg raises, partial squats, calf raises and yoga stretching every day for about 15 minutes
I have pain near the hip joint in addition to limping
When will this stop?

This shows how different we all are, I had a limp for a while but no pain, but I couldn't sleep on my side for about two years
Limping for a step-or-two after getting up is very common - it seemed to go when I was more mobile (commuting 2 hours into and out of London) and my muscles gained strength.
No problems were spotted on my x-ray, until someone rev

No problems were spotted on my x-ray, until a senior surgeon reviewed it and it was found to be at an angle - revision followed but was unsuccessful.

I will be going for an xray check up next week. I wonder if my condition is common among hip replacement patients.
