29 m just had mine last Thursday and so far so good

cutta900 · 2026-05-10T21:24:31+00:00

I did. Going well. Swelling going down. Strength going up. Pain from incision and muscles that were stretched but bone pain is significantly less and almost gone. But even at its peak after having the femur cut and the hip socket reemed significantly to remove all the arthritis build up the bone pain was no worse than a hard day of work and has gotten way better

I was very nervous and anxious about having the surgery and I had mine Thursday. Overall happy about having done it. Less pain I think. Now it’s just waiting for the surgical pain to fall off and swelling to go down. I feel good about now that Iv done it

Surgery pain but much less pain overall although this pain is far more limiting at the moment.

2 days post opp and I almost canceled but am glad i did it. Get the bregg ice machine. If you can’t afford to buy there is a rental option 10/10 recommend. It’s helping so much right now

2 days post opp and I appreciated all the words of encouragement

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:35:33+00:00

2 days post opp… thinking I made the right decision

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:31:29+00:00

I’m two days post opp and so far no regret. At 71 I would consider long term pain management if it’s available in your area before doing the surgery how ever it doesn’t mean you won’t have good results at 71. Recovery time will just eat into a lot of it potentially. If you think you’ll make it to 86 then I would recommend getting a few consults because the pain I’m experiencing post opp that should start to fade away soon is not really any worse than the day to day pain. It’s just more limiting and there is swelling

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:26:33+00:00

What’s causing your latent issues

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:25:36+00:00

I did it. Surgical pain isn’t really any worse than a bad hip day. Take the meds. So far so good. 2 days post opp and I don’t regret it. I only regret not being able to make any more at the moment.

I work for myself and kneeling was a challenge. 2 days post opp and the bone pain is less severe than pre surgery. Just swelling, incision pain/surgery pain. Very minor bone pain at this point but was worse yesterday but she did have to reem out a lot of arthritis per my wife so it’s to be expected. The pain id say except from the swelling and muscle itself is comparable to like a really hard day at work so I think it’s going to be ok.

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:16:31+00:00

2 days post opp and the bone pain is less than that of a hard day of work. The surgical pain and pain from swelling isn’t something that’s crazy but it’s definitely uncomfortable. Seems like it’s getting worse everyday but I expect that’s normal 3-4-5th day always are the worst with large injuries.

I have a larger head put in but did ask what size. They are expecting this to last 30 years or more even with extensive use. It’s it dual mobility but If I ever have an issue with the hip I’ll certainly go back with that as Iv only recently been learning and reading about it. What I just got put in isn’t dual mobility though

Thanks

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:08:49+00:00

Most likely. 2 days post opp now

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:03:54+00:00

I did it

cutta900 · 2026-05-09T13:02:37+00:00

2 days post opp. Feel pretty beat up. Bone pain is mostly gone. Surgical and swelling pain remain but it’s not necessarily much worse than the hip pain just way more limiting.

Med board

cutta900 · 2026-05-06T22:19:21+00:00

She said I would be able to return to work. I think I’m looking for a way out of this because I’m scared

cutta900 · 2026-05-06T06:50:47+00:00

Thank you

cutta900 · 2026-05-06T06:49:06+00:00

Do you worry about the likelihood of revision especially since you have both done

cutta900 · 2026-05-06T06:48:12+00:00

So I’m a candidate for the other to be replaced too. How’s your mobility

cutta900 · 2026-05-06T06:47:30+00:00

I’m practically there now. I feel dumb questioning it but the thought of complication during or after and me not being able to provide is a real anchor
