3 week post hip replacement, been real happy so far. Rode bike today for first time, just 3 miles. Went real well. I walk my block about a mile and a quarter twice a day and that is going well. My main issue is waking up at around 2 to 3 am with muscle pain, found out if I get up then and do my PT then walk up my driveway which is about 200’ one way I can go back to bed and sleep a couple more hours. I just take Advil and alternate Tylenol. I can actually ride mower and work some in yard now. Thing are looking up, hopefully I can get in pool this week.

      You’re doing sooo well. Keep up the good work and the exercise. Muscle pain is normal,it will come right slowly but surely. Keep us posted.

      It’s great that you are getting more and more active. I remember that pain from the surgery site during that recovery time. Keep your head up, set your goals and stay optimistic. That pain will eventually go away.
