Hello, When on crutches I walked up stair with ABC Able leg (Good leg), Bad leg (replacement hip), Crutch. Walking down I followed CBA. Once I stopped using the crutch over time as I got more stable I learnt to walk up and down stairs without holding the handrail. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, Many thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I was very pleased with how the Langster turned out... the twin brake lever was one of the unusual things I like. Take care. Paul,,

Hello David, Congratulations on your new hip... I think it was around 2.5 weeks before I was off the pain medication... It did feel less painful after around a week but I have quite a lot of bruising which was quite uncomfortable. I did not need the toilet during the night any more than normal... Stay strong, once your past the trauma of the operation you'll be fine. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Nobby, Thanks, things should calm down shortly and I will be spending more time in the workshop. It's been quite challenging waking my body up to training and getting my bikes up together... Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Colin, Thank you... All the travelling is getting quite tiring to be truthful... I am in Wales next week... Hopefully thinks well become a bit earlier once my body wakes up a little. Thanks for your support. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Andrew, Maybe inspirational from your end... I am just super tired all the time at my end - haha. Derby went well and i have got the accreditation I wanted. I need to do the same in Newport and London before the winter. Hopefully some on the bike action soon. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello David, I do ride at Alexandra Park each week but being outdoor and less steeply banked I need to ride the indoor tracks which are similar to Roubaix. London is about 130, miles from home but lots of traffic, Newport (Wales) is 150 miles for home and is where I would go mostly as it is quickest from home. Hopefully next update with some cycling action. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hi Paul, I joked about Alexandra Park, I thought it was athletics only. Look forward to seeing on one of those tracks. All the best!!

Hello Deborah, Thank you for watching my video and your kind words... Hopefully the information will help a few people along the way... Take care. Paul,,

@@ThePensionerAdventurer I am 7 days post op THR so yes it has, thanks for taking the time to share your journey

Hello, Great to hear you have had your hip replaced... Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Tina, Congratulations on your recent hip replacement... I was very keen to get on a stationary and or outdoor bike... The physio i visited after 6 weeks said i could ride the stationary bike but the surgeon still said i should wait until 12 weeks post op before riding any sort of bike. I did as i was told and waited the 12 weeks and just focused on the walking. I 100% agree that the form is so important, which I am sure you know from your yoga background. Wishing you a good recovery. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Micky, Yes that would be a good one... I think it is important to get as much range of movement as possible... Thanks for watching and sharing your advice. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Good to hear you've had your hip replaced and i wish you a speedy recovery. I did have a walker whilst in hospital for a couple of days. Before being discharged they did some tests to see if I could walk with crutches and I carried on with them. I guess the time you transition from walker varies quite a lot and is based on the individual. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Joseph, They are fun and a bit challenging to ride... They don't seem to pop up in eBay to often. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Sue, Many thanks for watching my video... Wishing the the best of luck with your operation this afternoon and a speedy recovery. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Karen, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling so much. Hopefully the swelling in your ankle and foot will improve with time and you'll be out and about walking. Wishing you the best of luck with your recovery. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

I am so very sorry that you are having such a bad experience. I highly recommend frequent icing your leg with ice pads throughout the day, frequently elevate your legs throughout the day and especially lots of ankle pumps throughout the day. That’s in addition to the standard physical therapy exercises that you were given. You’ll be feeling great before you know it.

What does your surgeon say is the cause of this? I've never heard of anyone having an issue like you described. Am facing surgery with Direct Anterior in 17 days. Would love ou comment So sorry you are having such problem

Hi Janmac, I'm now at 4 weeks and the pain and swelling is slowly subsiding. I'm walking on my own, but tire quickly. My surgeon tells me everyone heals differently. I'm 72 and put this off for too long. I'm a swimmer and exercised to avoid surgery. He told me that my arthritis was so bad that within a year my hip would has broken on it's own. He had to resurface my pelvic cup bone because their was almost no bone left before he could complete the replacement. I'm sure you will be fine. Most people are up and about in a couple weeks. Especially if you are younger. I'm just so disappointed because I'm very healthy and fit and thought this would go much easier for me. Wishing you well.

Hello, I am pleased to hear it was of help... I have just watched a couple of your videos, you should make some more... Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Jane, The lack of info was why I started to document my progress with the new hip... Hopefully over time it will show any lesson learnt. I agree about building muscles before and after to support the new hip. I found my cycling before helped a lot as it is none weight bearing and I could still do it. Wishing you a wonderful recovery and many thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

@@ThePensionerAdventurer doesn't help that I'm overweight now due to lack of exercise (due to hip) although I did go to a gym a couple of times a week before surgery just to try strengthening. Think it helped. It's all pretty exhausting though. Hey! Ho! Onwards and upwards

Hello Andrea, Many thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. You clearly have been doing your research. In the UK with our free National Health Service you just get what you are given. I am not sure if I was lucky but so far i have had a good outcome. Thanks again for watching and wishing you all the best for your operation sometime in the future. Take care. Paul,,

The Bob and Brad RUclips videos are the best. I highly recommend them for any physical therapy issue. It is amazing all of the physical therapy information that they have presented and continue to present.

Hello Andrew, I've been training for a little while now... I've clocked up 8.5 hours in the saddle this week and covered about 125 miles... I'm miles away from where I need to be but you have to start somewhere... They normally stream the world championships on RUclips so hopefully people can see how I get on. Thanks for your support. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, WOW this is a challenging tale... I hope I don't suffer anything similar... Thanks for watching my video and sharing your story. Take care. Paul,,

@@ThePensionerAdventurer I would like to hear stories from others who have experienced a hip dislocation. I have read it’s less than 1%

I have my hip replaced in in febhurry. I was standing checking out groceries and my hip dislocated. I fell I went to the hospital. I didn't have to have surgery for them to put it back in place. But they didn't give me some medication and put it back in place. Then maybe about 3 weeks later, my hip Dislocated again, so now I'm waiting to have a revision surgery on my hip The pain was terrible.

@@malindarobinson2867 thank goodness you’re okay, I’m so afraid to have hip revision surgery bc I’m told the recovery is longer than the first surgery, I wish you well and please keep us updated.

Sorry to hear things have been so difficult, wishing you well for the revision. Take care Paul,,@@malindarobinson2867

Hello Pat, I am so pleased the information was helpful... Wishing you the best of luck with your operation... Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, Thanks for dropping by... I guess the max speed in any gear is dependent on how much power the rider has and how fast they can pedal... At the time of filming the video i was waiting for my total hip replacement and was limited on how fast i could ride. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Wayne, Many thanks for watching my video and taking time to record your experience... it is my hope that the comments will be helpful to all viewers... As we all know one size does not fit all... Thanks again. Take care. Paul,,

Your first few statements are very debatable. I have been reading from both professional orthopedic websites and well known universities and there is a WHOLE lot of mild disagreement among all these experts on what approach is "best." There are pros and cons for all surgical approaches. You can't make a blanket statement just from YOUR experience alone.

Actually it was not a blanket statement based solely on my experience. As an engineer I do my homework including detailed analytical studies before subjecting my body to any such surgery or procedure. From 2017 until January 2024, I interviewed and followed the recovery process of 52 total hip replacement patients. For all patients having the anterior approach the recovery was much easier and faster for them with minimal restrictions. I also interviewed 10 orthopedic surgeons, read 100s of orthopedic surgeon published articles, watched 100s of RUclips videos presented by orthopedic surgeons, including debates regarding the anterior, lateral and posterior approaches to total hip replacement (the anterior approach was always the winner) and even attended a 5 hour Anterior Hip Replacement Master Class presented for orthopedic surgeons. Many of these doctors admittedly realized the positive advantages of the anterior approach. Some even said it is the only approach that should be used in the 21st century. The only reason that they identified for using a lateral or posterior approach was if the surgery was needed due to an injury which required fuller access to the femoral head and acetabulum such as for an acetabular fracture. However, there is a learning curve for the orthopedic surgeon to switch to the anterior approach and they have to learn how to use a Hanna Surgical Table, Thompson Lift or a regular Surgery Table with the head placed at the opposite end of the Surgery Table plus some other specialized surgical equipment. It’s takes surgeons from 50 to 100 surgeries to become fully proficient with the anterior approach. For these reasons many surgeons are not prepared to switch to the anterior approach. Of those 52 patients that were interviewed, all will only have the anterior approach performed if they need there other hip replaced. Some have already had the second hip replaced with the anterior approach and have confirmed that the anterior approach is the only way to go. In there cases they had the experience of comparing the anterior approach to their previous posterior or lateral approach.

Hello, I hope all goes well with your hip replacement, California is nice... I had family living near Carlsbad and visited quite a bit... Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,

Hello Henry, Many thanks for watching my video, Take care. Paul,,

Hello Dave, Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment... I was quite nervous about my hip operation and could not find to much information from people rather than doctors, so thought I would try and document the before and after of my operation. I am pleased to hear they are useful. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, Many thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. In addition to the video I hope all the comments will help others as we all have different circumstances and one size does not fit all. I hope all goes well in May and you have a speedy recovery. Take care. Paul,,

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to comment... I don't think there is a one size fits all on the recovery malarky. The main thing is to be consistent and work on it every day and things will get better and better. Thanks for watching. Take care. Paul,,
