I am three months mail service operation for full left hip replacement and I am miserable from pain, no slumber, 3 emergency room (ER) visits, and a doctor who has no clue about complications. My left foot turns inward now and I have to force it to be straight when I walk. I can't lie on either side. Tylenol and Aleve barely help and I don't want to be become an addict so I am avoiding narcotics whenever possible and just hurting instead. Wish I'd never done this surgery.

Wow, I'grand shocked and sorry at the trouble people are having! I had full hip replacement 5 months agone. I walk xx miles a week - no hurting and am starting to sort of throw some jogging in in that location too. Plan to be fully back running within the year. Interviewed 4 surgeons and thank goodness, I was able to choose my surgeon (thanks to insurance). He'll be doing my left hip soon too and I intend to run on both for some other 15-20 years. By the fashion he used a superior approach... it is more precise and has far less complications than posterior.

I am 7 weeks postal service posterior right hip replacement. For the almost part it feels pretty expert but I am occasionally feeling a muscle pain in the front of my thigh as well as a pocket-size spot in my groin that hurts also.
