Jules-Good Morning all. My first time on this sight. I had a full hip replacement (posterior) on 02/02/16. At the 4 week check-up, cleared to swim, do recumbent bike and lift upper body. At 9 weeks, dislocated due to over activity and incorrect positioning. I’m at 5 weeks post dislocation. The depression is overwhelming and without endurance athletic activities, having a difficult time overcoming this. Has anyone else dislocated? I mainly do long distance triathlons and endurance cycling but feel like I will not get my life back and second guessing having the surgery in the first place.

I am a finance analyst at UCSB. I had been doing long distance triathlons, swimming and cycling. I had a total left hip replacement due to dysplasia. I will need my right hip done in 5+ years due to arthritis. I am hoping to return to sports soon but I did suffer a dislocation at 9 weeks post-op so the recovery has been very slow.
