Hi, I’m Brent, I had one hip replaced in Nov. 19, and my other one done in March of 20. Both anterior. One month later my one month old hip dislocated! Had to be surgically put back in the socket. Since then, I’ve progressed to where I’m able to jog very slowly for a half a mile. No pain or soreness afterword. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a dislocation, and should I be worried about it preventing me from running in the long term. Thanks so much, I’ve learned so much since I”ve found this site!
Brent,
I had my first THR in May 2017 and other hip back Sept. 2020. I quit running back in 2017 and picked up tennis and walk long distances. I did run minimal distance after my 2017 hip replacement and did a lot of singles tennis. Now that I’m back to walking again longer distances still two months out from being able to play doubles tennis. Moving forward. I’ve decided I will stick to long distance walking, biking, lap swimming and double tennis. No more pounding for me because my PT told me a few months ago that she could tell when she was working on me that I was having some arthritis in one of my knees. I want to save my knees. I’d rather go do a thru-hike of the AT then run. I don’t feel like running is worth it anymore and I would encourage anyone on this site to think long term. Trust me. I was a long distance runner, Ironman triathlete for over 30 years. I get it. Just my thoughts. ~Jen
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely don’t want to end up needing knee replacement. I know some people who have, and it’s much more rehab than a THR! If I can run, I would keep it slow, and more than 3 miles a few times a week. But the fact that i had a dislocation is causing me some concern, I definitely don’t want to go through that ever again!
