Well I'm 3 months now and the thought of doing building work and get up and down from the floor would be a no from me....but everyone is different ....some people are running after 3 months I think you will just have to wait and see how you get on....good luck

Hamid,
See the 'dislocation risk graph' on my website - the address is in my personal info here ...

and at the bottom of the moderator's "useful resources" page at

I think it will be extremely difficult for you to carry on with that sort of job for about 6 months due to the dislocation risks.
Best wishes

Every one is different. There are many people who go back to the same activities they did before their hips went out. Just ensure that you follow your doctor's restrictions, give yourself time and get some good physical therapy. I would recommend that even after three months get someone else to do those thing for you if you can. Pay attention to your body, Good luck!
