I am three months out. Before surgery I was walking 5 miles a day. Back to it but not so comfortable. I still have some swelling and pain in both the groin and back of my hip that is exacerbated with activity. Being athletic I am used to a bit of pain so I am mostly ignoring this albeit harder to do so at night when there is less to distract me. Two am podcasts are becoming a thing.

I'm at my 14 day period after anterior hip replacement, still walking with cane. I still have a lot of " stiffness" when I walk or stand for longer periods of time. Sitting in a chair other then my recliner is very uncomfortable, is this all normal?

[@chemlabgal7564]

I would say pretty normal. Everyone is different. My neighbor and I had the same surgery and recovery was very different. I was walking unassisted much earlier
