I ve been living with juvenile arthritis since the age of 12. I had a left hip replacement at the age of 19 duo to the steroids I had to take for so long. After my surgery I met a doctor that changed my life through a very complex process of cleansing my body I got rid of all the acids that caused my arthritis. I since taken Bikram yoga and i am vegetarian, I have 2 kids and I live a mostly pain free life. I am 33 years old I do skydiving, hiking, rock climbing.Everything is possible!
I am inspired! I've had my left hip replaced and going for the right soon. (Avuncular Necrosis at age 45) I've been living with Lupus for almost 20 years and i want to get back in shape (steroids weight) I love the philosophy of yoga and want to begin using it. Thanks for posting and giving me hope!
It's quite moving to watch you act with such care, respect, and acceptance of where your body is in the healing process. You're an inspiration when I feel discouraged. Om Shanti.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Be patient, there's no hurry in the healing process. Follow your body's needs and all will be well. My best to you!
what happened to her hip precautions??? I had my surgery at age 29 and had precautions for 8 weeks. she shouldn't even be bending over at all. notsmart in my opinion.
I was given no restrictions....I followed what my body allowed. I was an extremely active and able bodied person prior to surgery and that probably had something to do with my recovery.
I used to have arthritis pain all throughout my body, had pain for years and years, not until a friend of mine told me about an all natural, little known protein, did my pain go away.
I'm 35 and just had a full hip replacement on my left hip. At 3 weeks, I'm impressed you are bending this way (I've had the "hip precautions" drilled into me by nurses and medical staff to prevent dislocation). Although this stuff is expressly forbidden, I can't help but feel encouraged to see you displaying the range of motion I hope to recover after a couple of months.
@woadtoad I'd love to know how you are doing now??? I am 31 and just had a total right hip done 6 weeks ago (congenital hip dysplasia) . I was a fairly active person and practiced yoga and can't wait to get going again. I understand what you mean about being drilled otherwise by the nurses and docs.

I'm curious - how your doing now... since- every thing your doing in this vid was strictly against orders for recovery-
I'm referring to the range of motion-
and the risk of Dislocation- due to NOT being healed... it takes 12 weeks for the implant to be secure.
I've had both hips replaced- and I'm a dancer... it took me 6 weeks of intensive therapy before I could even sit on a toilet without rails. Come check out my Hip Replacement vids... my 3 week post op is different than yours!
While'under the knife' my surgeon checked my range of motion so that the implant he chose would not dislocate. My scar is 3" long. I walked out of the hospital - no crutches or cane. Perhaps the 'type' of implant has something to do with your difficult recovery? I was given no restrictions for recovery, have used common sense in rebuilding my health but still feel physically restricted 5 months later and continue to work on my range of motion.
Perhaps you had the Minimally Invasive hip surgery, rather than the traditional variety that most people get. The incision is usually around 3" vs. the 10" incision most of us get.
It sucks about the 1" longer leg though. I'm feeling the leg differential too. Not sure how much longer my left leg is, but there is definitely a difference. I'm hoping a shoe lift will cover it...
I did not have the minimally invasive surgery, it was the full hip replacement. I've now had my second hip done to even out my legs and the back pain is gone. My surgeon has always said not to worry about restricting my movement. After all, the pain one feels when moving the leg acts a a guide to how far you move it. If you practice stretching the hip, never force into the pain, play the edge and it will slowly begin to feel more mobile. Good luck!
Wow! I was diagnosed with hip OA at 40 and at 43 now I have constant pain...not on meds uyet but I have to gym and do weight and stuff everyday to be mobile..how long did you have your OA....I am worried they will not operate on me for years and painkillers(when i staret them will kill my kidneys) ..Is there anyway of retarding the progression...how long have you had your arthitris
Thank you! I am now 4 months out from surgery (June '08)and doing quite well but I'm preparing to have my left hip done in the fall to fix the leg differential...result of the hip surgery made the right leg 1" longer than the left leg :0(

Listen to your body...if you were active before you will be active again..this time perhaps with less range of movement but happily pain free!
