40 days passed after my surgery. I do not use stick for short distances. Use only one stick for long distances for safety only. Build up your butt, hip and knee muscles going to fitness gym using exercise therapy, of course monitored by their physician. I am 47. Twenty years I was limping and afraid to go to surgery. This pain after surgery is nothing compare to mine throughout twenty years. Good luck to everyone.
Am 8 weeks out from total left hip replacment. Walked with a walker for about 8 to 9 years very slowly not putting any weight on my left leg as the hip deterioated. I learned that I have a very high pain tolerance so had almost no pain during that time so I never realized how bad my hip had gotten. After the surgery i had no pain and the nurses couldn't understand why. First day I got very dizzy and nauseous when standing to use a walker about 4 hours after surgery. I forgot that I recover from ahenstatic very slowly. Decided that I still had a lot of ahenstatic in my system because my surgeon used only ahenstatic for my surgery. Later in the evening I had no priblem when getting ready for sleeping since my surgeon wanted me to stay overnight for observation. Had no priblem using my operated leg the first day in the hospital. A week later it became a dead weight and I could only use it to walk and had to use a foot lifter to get in and out of. bed. That lasted about a week but the Podcasts I had read said that would happen. I got lazy and kept using a foot lifter until at 6 weeks I was scokded by one of my therapists that usig it. She said that it did not help to stregthen my leg muscles. I quit using one and in about 4 days noticed a big difference. I can lift my operated leg easier anď am walking much better. At home I try to walk without a walker or cane for a few steps when I have counters or door knobs to hold in case I need support . I am till usung a walker since my operated leg was an inch and hald shorter and without a walker my right hip still notices the the difference. I do use a cane when going into stores, but park as close in a handucapoed spot as I can. In a store I use a shopping cart or an electric cart to get around and take that back to my car to load my shopping itemd. Then I usually take the cart back into the store and walk back to my car using my cane. If I am with someone they will bring the aid and take it back so I do not need to walk with my cane. I used a cane since about 2006 and switched to a rolator walker about 2015 so I am experienced using both. Told my therapists that and they did not know. My exercises changed a bit after that and I use my cane at therapy every time. I took my rollator to my 8 week check up because the nurses called my a day after I got home from the hosputal to insist I not use a rollator but the small hard to push 2 wheel walker. I did what I wanted at home but did take a 2 wheel walker to therapy because it fit into my daughter's car better than the larger rollator. Since I now drive myself to my therapy I plan on taking my rollator in next time. I have been taking the 2 wheel.walker but noticed that I lean in it too much since it is hard to push. May not have said all I wanted or rambled but tried to cover all I wanted to share.
TIP: Watch your vlogs and kill the music. We want to hear you, not some crap music. Using the towel she was going beyond 90 degrees at the hip, but you have apparently done anterior or SuperPATH, right?
Thanks for sharing this video. I am 5 weeks out and walking without a cane or walker. May I suggest you give the option to mute the background music in the video. It is very distracting. Thanks again!!
I’m at week 5 now , at day 10 I started riding the bike twice a day for 5-10 min Week 2 I started going to gym , just doing upper body and getting the blood flowing felt really good Now I work out 5 days a week Light legs ( only body weight squats) , assault bike , planks and abs and Roman chair . Feels much better than before surgery already Looking forward to water skiing this summer
Today is my 12th day after a TRHP..the first week obviously uncomfortable.. yesterday out shopping one crutch.. got a bit emotional whilst shopping..realised I wasn't limping such a happy feeling..after limping for almost 4yrs.. Hopefully things going to be much better..
You are through the hardest part! Great job! I would love to know what you do with the second chance life has given you! Any big resolutions for new y ears?
Sooo going to change my life around and that starts tomorrow.. tonite however is going to be a quiet one.. I prefer new years day than the eve.. Have a good one.🍻🏴
I was very surprised to see you recommend an exercise (hip slides; the second one shown) which brought the thigh well up inside 90 degrees from your torso. This is rule-number-one for hip surgery: NEVER do this until cleared by your surgeon, and that's likely to be up to 12 weeks after surgery.
Great point! Our surgeons are all minimally invasive so the surgery itself doesn't substantially weaken the hip joint. Sadly, many people are still having the legacy posterior approach. In "your mother's hip replacement" surgery, the posterior approach, the hip is so weak you can do real damage after surgery.
@@hip-replacementinfo6511 Yep, that's a fair point. However, to be picky, I did say hip surgery, rather than hip replacment. This includes resurfacing, and as far as I am aware, this can ONLY be done with a posterior approach. And of course, the vast majority of hip replacements here in the UK are done using the posterior approach.
The 90° precaution for THA depends on surgical approach. I had a muscle sparing Anterior approach and have No Post Op movement restrictions. So-“it depends”. ;-)
I’m had anterior approach w zero restrictions 10 weeks ago and I’ve been squatted bending since a few days post surgery . Since week 7 I’ve been doing deadlifts , squats , lunges ,10 km hikes in the mountains , rowing machine , elliptical, , box jumps , skipping . What fabulous surgery , essentially no post op pain in comparison to arthritis pain , used a cane for about 6/7 days . I feel 20 yrs younger . I waited too long to get it done in hindsight
Good stuff but not a good mix;music in stereo, room mike in mono and too low in volume. Also, the music is on a crappy loop, like being on hold. Did they have a producer?
@@hip-replacementinfo6511 Technology today is amazing ! 14 weeks post op now Did my first 1 1/2 hr cross fit session Feels great ! Doing squats , deadlifts , bent over rows , explosive plyometrics , lunges , tons of burpees . Going 3 times a week starting this week 58 feeling 38 !! Back to slalom skiing next week 💪 A lot of hard work but worth it !
Question. I had knee replacement a year ago and now hip replacement. Having a lot of problems after sitting for a while. It only last the first 10 steps but really hurts during that time. Six weeks ago on hip. Any suggestions? Thks. Mike B

Ms. Amy turn the music down next time please
Sorry!
7 weeks post op. Just found this today. Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
Music is too loud
Working on it. Thanks for the feedback. Sorry.
Good info but the background music is too loud. It’s difficult to hear the instruction.
Would be better there was no music. It is difficult to hear as the music is tooooo loud…….
Great video except for loud music.
The music was fine!
Kill the music please
Agree, the music is pointless, annoying & makes it difficult to hear what she’s saying. I gave up on it half way through & looked for another video.
Ah, so sorry. We can't change the music without taking down the video. We promise not to do it again.
Please turn down the background music because it's very hard to hear the information.😮
TIP: Watch your vlogs and kill the music. We want to hear you, not some crap music. Using the towel she was going beyond 90 degrees at the hip, but you have apparently done anterior or SuperPATH, right?
Thanks for the comment!

Great suggestion! Glad to hear you are doing so well. Keep up the good work! What approach did you have? Posterior or minimally invasive?
I’m at week 5 now , at day 10 I started riding the bike twice a day for 5-10 min
Week 2 I started going to gym , just doing upper body and getting the blood flowing felt really good
Now I work out 5 days a week
Light legs ( only body weight squats) , assault bike , planks and abs and Roman chair .
Feels much better than before surgery already
Looking forward to water skiing this summer
Strong work! You've got this!
The background music is distracting and makes it difficult to pay attention to your words
Music is too LOUD
I think it would be better with NO music. It’s very distracting and makes it hard to hear you. Thanks.
turn off the background music, little annoying.
Oops. Sorry you didn't like it.
Be careful. Heel slides sitting up breaks hip precautions taking hip flexion past 90 degrees.
Thanks for the tip!
Excellent video, but I could have done without the background music all the way through the video. Very distracting.
Sorry about that
Please can you remove the music it makes it impossible for me to hear your information? Thank you
Thank you for doing this
It means a lot .......from India with love

Hang in there I’m in week 4 myself. I’m feeling better. You will get better soon too.
Even without the annoying background music the sound has to be improved to incre3ase the value of your presentation.

do it without towel whilst on your back

Had my right hip replaced 20 days back
How is it going bro?
Do you feel good and can lead a total normal life like others?
My surgery is going to be scheduled too.
Thanks but I can't hear much with the music 😢
This has been really helpful thank you ladies. I will ask therapist about leg raises.
Thanks!
Cant hear for music
The music is too loud,
Good stuff but not a good mix;music in stereo, room mike in mono and too low in volume. Also, the music is on a crappy loop, like being on hold. Did they have a producer?
Great video but the music is really distracting - music is not necessary and it's too loud.
Please stop the background noise. I can not hear you properly
Can’t hear words
Why this music???? Can’t hear what you said
Those seem like day 4-8 exercises not week 4-8 ?
It's supposed to be 4-8 weeks after surgery.

Technology today is amazing !
14 weeks post op now
Did my first 1 1/2 hr cross fit session
Feels great ! Doing squats , deadlifts , bent over rows , explosive plyometrics , lunges , tons of burpees .
Going 3 times a week starting this week

Back to slalom skiing next week 💪
A lot of hard work but worth it !
@@hip-replacementinfo6511yes, that's what my instructions are
The music is very disturbing !
Sorry.
Music to loud

Hm. This seems like a good problem for a physical therapist to solve. Are you in therapy?
that music is very annoying, distracts from what you're saying,
Yes, most annoying music ever, and your voices are echoing.
Good tutorial spoilt by musac😢
