  • 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.

  • @Marcelatqb I have the same condition. did you had kids before or after surgery?

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • @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.
