I'm 51, 185 lbs. I had my first THR in April. I was using a cane only in 4 days, off all pain meds in 7 days, driving in 9 days, played golf @ 3 weeks, Surfing in a month.
Hey, Everyone is going to be different in their recovery & their dealing with pain. If your in shape & active you'll be back up in no time. If your out of shape and lazy or a senior citizen it may take you a lot longer.
Bottom line is this is the only way to get your quality of life back.
@BokatorFighter the doctors guess was i caught it at a doctors office when they was giving me injections in the back and legs. staph is horrible in doctors offices especially the older ones like we have here and are not kept up to date with cleaning and so on. all i know is it was the most pain i ever felt in my entire life. they had me on 100mgs of oxycontin three times a day and 20mgs injections of morphine every four hours with lortab and percocets every two hours plus a fentanyl patch.
@jimmygrag That is what several doctors said(two OS) about my case. If they don't do hip resurfacings, they have no rights to say you don't qualified. How do they know that you don't qualify, if they (doctors) don't even do the resurfacing procedures. I got BHR ( birmingham hip resurfacing). That is why you should always go to the excellent doctors that do hip resurfacing to get opinion, not just any doctors.
Not everyone qualifies for this. Depending how bad or brittle your bone structure is I did not qualify at age 43 for this. Just bad genes I guess I have or I would have done that.
that was awesome
