No matter how bad it hurts initially you HAVE to keep up the PT.

I'm pleasantly surprised that I have what feels like a pulled quad muscle, as he went in through the front and only had to slide muscle aside to do the thing, and no muscle or tendon damage. They're saying apply full weight to the new hip and take "baby steps" while upping the walking time by more minutes each day or two. I do know it feels so much better putting weight on it, and the Dr. said the original was ground to dust, any further trying to walk with it could have gone really bad real quick.

Went through knee replacement surgery two years ago. My physical therapist had me taking pain meds BEFORE my appointments for the first six weeks so I would get used to doing my PT exercises. I had to walk 100 ft just after surgery; 600 feet before I could go home the next day. By my fifth day at home I wasn’t using my walker….until my wife sat it in front of me in while I was in the kitchen and gave me THAT look!
