two weeks in
Posted , 9 users are following.
After delaying my surgery for ten years (out of complete fear)and waiting a year to see the doctor I had researched i am now three weeks post op. My operation was an Anterior aproach full replacement and I fell great. So good in fact that it has me a little concerned. I came home the next day with no movement restrictions and went up the stairs and into bed.
The first few days were alittle groggie due to pain management but from day 7 on i am drug free and walking with a cane. Stairs are not an issue and i am in and out of a car (not driving) with now problems. A few days ago i over did it in my enthusiasm to recover and my leg became fatigued. Other that that most people dont event know i had anything done.
Has anyone else had this type of proceedure? I would like to know what to expect ahead and how far to push myself with out overduing it.

I didn't have the anterior approach, but very similar story for the post op. I'm now 9 weeks post op and am back at work full time, going to gym, swimming and generally doing anything I want to. I honestly often forget I've had it done!
The only problems I had was sleeping on my back - impossible, and remembering the 90degree rule. I think the only advice I would give is do what feels ok, don't push anything and if it hurts stop!
Well done 👍🏼
