Hello!
I am a 38 year old runner and just had a THR on my left hip on Wednesday, Nov. 5th. I am feeling good in the healing process, but mostly anxious to feel the phantom hip that I have read about.
Previous to the hip issues I was a sub 3hr marathoner and sub 36 minute 10k runner. I don’t know if I can do those speeds or distances again, but I would rather build the health benefits associated with endurance running and require a revision later, than to simply accept limitations (this is probably the hubris of youth).
Mostly posting here to say hello and join the community. I have been recording videos of myself walking each day post surgery, which will be fun to look back on.
Love that this community exists and appreciate all the knowledge I have gained from reading posts.
