I had mine done 4 weeks ago. Ceramic on Ceramic uncemented Total Hip Replacement.
It was pretty bad ,and painful and uncomfortable and weard. My one was making so much noice and I could feel it moving and something grinding inside.
So be prepared it won't be easy in the begging , but it will get better. I started feeling difference after 19 -20 days. Less pain I could do more , no swelling and started walking with one stick in the house. Now 31 days later:
I can walk a little bit without crutches but I walk like a duck
In the house if I'm not tired I don't use sticks and if I'm tired I use 1or both as for outside I take 2 crutches Always.
I try to do exercise and go for daily walks ,but depends on how strong u are . Im going to see physio on 1st of July and my surgeon on 10th Of July .
I wish you best of luck , br prepared but IT WILL GET BETTER! !
One of the lovely ladies here said- I can sit legs crossed

You must know all the good and bad stuff, it prepares you better. At least you will know what to expect .
I knew it's going to be painful, but I didn't realise how PAINFUL , after my surgery I thought I will never be able to walk again. Physio come the same day to ask me to get out of the bed( I refused. )I was one of the youngest patient for them. Ladies in the room some 70 years young were able to sit on edge of the bed and take few steps same day. I managed to get out of the bed next day and fainted 2times.
So it depends on each person
I think your surgeon should have told you what hip you are getting , this way you could get more info. Maybe you could call in and ask? I'm sure they be able to tell you. It depends on your age and activity level and so on.
