I’m 53 years old, a runner and just got a date for my hip replacement. May 5th. While I’m a bit freaked out, I’m happy to have the date set, get it done and be on my way to recovery and hopefully running again. I was diagnosed needing the THR while training for my second New York Marathon. Was suppose to run it for my 50th birthday but never made it through training… I loved finding this blog! It helped to motivate me into pushing forward with this. I still run, short distance only and it hurts like hell!!!

I am scheduled to have total hip this summer and want to know what kind of prosthesis you have where you are allowed to continue to run? My doc said I would have to give up all running and jumping, and needless to say I am devastated . I am currently looking into resurfacing so that I may have the hope of being able to continue to run. I’m only 49. I had labral repair via scope 4 years ago. I guess it wasn’t the forever cure I was hoping for. I now face a life without the sport that I love and just when I felt like no one understood me I found this site . I look forward to hearing from you. Tks

Tom, my previous posts indicated I was considering the hip replacement. Well, Monday 15SEP14, I had the right hip replaced via anterior approach. I was out of the hospital the next day, working out on home gym two days later and training with weights the following week. The recovery has been very fast. Still have some swelling but that should past soon ….heck, it has only been two weeks as of today. So, based off past posts and your experience, when is the best week to consider a short run. Week 8, 10, 12, etc?

Greetings,
I am a 46 year old runner, who, is on his second hip surgery following a traumatic injury (hit by a car cycling) . I have finally decided that the pain is not going to stop, so it’s time to have a hip replacement. I was so depressed that I would never run again. I was thankful to be ble to run after the initial hip fracture repair (2011). Since the pain started late 2013, and the second surgery was done to try and save the hip, the only thing I have heard from doctors is “you will never run again”. I can’t tell you how happy I was to find this blog. I’m looking at April for the replacement. Hoping to share my recovery experience with some folks who have “been there, done that.” Thanks for the hope!

This is not the right place but I don’t know how to get help. I supposedly joined hiprunner, but haven’t been able to login without paying money to wordpress. I want to know if there is any experience of runners 5, 10, 15 years after hip replacement. I had surgery 17 days ago, want to know when to start the elliptical walker light running.

At what point did you choose to have surgery? I have transitioned to bicycling and the elliptical. I can struggle through a run, but am sore for days. I am not in pain per say, just stiff. What is the tipping point for surgery?

P.S. I have been diagnosed with arthritis in both hips. Dr. states that a hip replacement is not a matter of if, but when.

Thank you for your response.

Possible THR here. I used to run about 6 years ago, until I developed a runners fracture in the top of my foot and my left hip started hurting. I am not a marathoner by any means but I had gotten up to about 20 miles a week. I had gotten down to 185 (High School weight). Flash forward to now, remarried, 44, gained all my weight back (240lbs). I decided it was time to get back out there. Dr gave me a cortisone shot in the left hip and 4 days later I was off at it. After 2 months I worked my way up to doing a 5K. Did the 5K and now my right hip is killing me. Had a cort shot in that one as well, but it’s not helping. Doc is saying they may need to do a THR.

I don’t want to do the high mileage marathons, but a 5K would be nice every once in a while. Every other day jogging is my goal if this happens. Just hoping if this does happen that it fixes the issue. Anyone have any tips for joggers to not hit the heel so hard? Pace is usually about a 12 minute mile.

Has anyone had hip resurfacing? If not, why not? My understanding is that is a more suitable procedure if you want to return to running.

I have been an avid runner for years….my right hip started giving me problems about 3 years ago. I switched to raod biking and gym cardio stuff…had a THR in May 2015 (anterior approach)….it went great and now, 7 months later I am gradually jogging and walking a 5K route with no pain. I am being cautious however….I am not so much concerned about wearing the new joint out (I am 61) but I do not want to do any damage to the new joint before it totally heals.

Is there anyone out there that started back running after having hip replacement surgery and the hip replacement failed due to running. I recently had my left hip replaced. I would like to starting running again,but II don’t want to a revision either. Can you let me know about failures of hip replacement due to running?

Thanks for the info about revision after running. I had THR 1/18/16. My recovery has been wonderful . I was walking on my own 3 days after surgery. PT had me running 3 weeks after surgery.running feels as natural as it did before my accident.
I’m back biking, elliptical workouts, cross country ski machine workouts as much as I did before surgery. I’m doing a little running, mostly on soft surfaces, feels wonderful. My surgeon doesn’t want me to run, but said he would take care of me if ran and had tto have a revision. I don’t plan to return to the 35 to 40 miles a week running Idid before surgery, I just want to do 2 to 3 miles several times a week. I will keep you posted on my Hip Running. I’m so glad I found HipRunner. It has help me so much. Linda

I delayed both my surgeries for about 4 years. I could no longer run, but could bike, swim, snowboard, etc. My tipping point was when I could no longer work 40 hrs/week, nor walk more than three miles. I was taking a lot of Advil, and finally started getting ulcers. Increase your short-term disability insurance, and have them done in the same calendar year; it will save you a significant amount. I am glad I did it; maybe waited just a bit too long.

Hi fellow “Tin hippers”!

I had an Exeter THR in 2009, when I was 48yrs old. Prior to this I was a very Athletic person, always running , playing team sport to a County/ regional level. Following the THR, ( my surgeon advised against a resurfacing due my age , gender and research indicating that bone narcosis was a high risk factor for resurfacing and advised a THR would be the
better option). I was gutted to learn that I would no longer be able to run or take part in impact sport and so since this operation, Ive gradually put weight on because I can no

longer run, and find gyms boring. I don’t swim, and a struggle with just simply walking – it’s too slow!

When i ws able to run , I only ever did 3-4 mile runs 2-3 times a week.

I wondered if anyone on here would know if it is possible for me to start jogging after such a long lay off from running? I must admit , I am weak in my core and glute medius muscle group ( having had a posteriolateral proceedure). I was a compliant patient and adhered to the advice , ” you must never run again”, but now I’ve read all the posts on here, I feel almost cheated of my one great love, running.

Hi,

First of all, I struggle with this blog…My intention was to just make a general post about my TLHR surgery for others to see/compare. I can’t figure out how to leave a general post, so I suppose I am replying to something. Perhaps Tom can move this to an appropriate place…

Anyway, I had my surgery 9 months ago. Dr. Scott Kelley at Duke performed the anterior approach. No issues whatsoever. No pain pills and only Aleve for 2 weeks…then nothing after that. My Doctor was adamant about giving my recovery 9 full months of no running/jogging/Stairmaster, squats, etc. After the 9 months, I was free to do anything, within reason. My surgeon has had both of his hips replaced and is an avid snowboarder and kitesurfer. 9 months out was Wednesday (May 20th, 2020). I ran 1 mile in 8:27 on Wednesday, with no issues other than being very winded. My plan is to ease back into running by taking 2 or 3 months before I try to really push things. My goal is to run a half marathon by the end of the year under 2 hours and hopefully a full marathon at some point under 4 hours. I’m 56 years old and ran Boston the first time in 2009. I don’t have delusions of ever qualifying again, but won’t rule it out completely either. My PR is 3:27 on a full and 1:30 on a half both around the age of 46. I’m looking forward to seeing how I do going forward. My doctor has placed no restrictions on me other than using common sense if things go South. I have lost 35 pounds (currently at 185) since January 1st (I got heavy due to inactivity)…and am doing P90X workouts currently to build strength in light of gyms still being closed in NC. So far, everything has gone according to plan. I only submit this as a reference. If anyone would like to contact me via email to share stories/information, my email is fvc@windstream.net

I think this a wonderful site and thank you Tom for all your efforts. Sharing info is the BEST way for everyone to progress, IMO. I’ll help anyone I can…

Thanks,

Hello,

I appreciate all of the good information on this site. It is encouraging to know that so many people have been successful in their attempts to return to running after hip replacement. I am sure I share the same sentiment with many that there is nothing quite like the feeling you get from running. I was interested to read that Frederick’s surgeon mandated no running for 9 months after his surgery. I had my right hip replaced January 11, 2022 by posterior approach and have had a good recovery. I can swim 1.5 miles, ride a bike for 1.5 hours, walk 4 miles and use an elliptical for an hour with little to no pain. My surgeon was fairly vague about when and if to ever run again. I would be most curious about when other people began running after their surgery and how it went. I am 63 year old man and was in good shape before surgery, having run a marathon a little over a year before.

Thank you for any experiences you all can share and best of luck to everyone with their running!

Lee D.
