I had a hip arthroscopy in May of 2016. They removed a huge impingement of bone on my femur but my Labrum was badly damaged and could not be repaired. Arthritis has set in and I am in pain all the time. I was a long distance triathlon competitor and used to run long distance. I cannot run now. I will have my hip replacement next year sometime whenever I decide.

8 Weeks after Surgery

CathyD

Hey Everyone

I am 8 weeks from having my Hip Replacement Surgery and I was wondering if I can get some experiences from some of you in regard to pain.  I am back in the pool and on the Spin Bike with some walking also.  My surgeon tells me to do some strength work which I have started (bodyweight stuff) but I am still in lots of pain.  He says this is normal. Am I expecting too much??

Getting rather frustrated thinking I should be further along?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
