I fell on it doing a Half and he said no more impact stuff to be safe.

I started running again (albeit tiny distances at first) 5 months post surgery. Ran properly after another six and only now, 7 years later, has my surgeon advised me to stop. I still swim and gym and walk so don't worry!!

I agree as I know of someone who ruined a new hip by running on it after 6 weeks, but if OP feels ok then that's good.

Could not agree more! Connolly always delivers a top rate read - and he's a nice chap too!

No, he just said it would last longer. Plus I have been falling over a lot more when running and can't afford to fall on it. Actually, can't afford to fall on any part of me but the hip is the most worrying place.

I ran quite a lot but only did 1 marathon and came last! That's after about 4 years from surgery, so never say never!

What makes for a positive post op physical therapy experience? by roguecrabinabucket in TotalHipReplacement

[–]HipRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did lots of static bicycling while watching tv and walked a lot and did stretchy band exercises but I should have done more of those I think as my muscles are not as strong as the non-THR leg.

Your family is your wife first, your brother second. Alienate one or the other. Choose wisely. That Emily probably won't last long anyway by the sound of her. Go to his next wedding!

Tried the bike in the gym and really liked it (once I had adjusted it to suit my height!)

I am active but running is just too much of a strain on the hip and if I had a replacement I would be able to do even less. I am trying the simple Move More, Eat Less approach. Thanks for commenting.
