Surgery went well in May. Recovery was a bit harder than imagined. I shattered my ankle 2 yrs ago and thought hip replacement would be so much easier. Still working on strengthening muscles in my leg & hip, progressing very well now.
! Did you have your hip replacement? I hope things went well. I didn’t fall, I was only making up my bed and turned or twisted a bit and heard a ‘Pop’ and felt immense pain. Standing on just one leg, couldn’t move, paramedics responded and wrapped me up in my sheet to take me to the ER. X-rays confirmed what needed to be done. Of course there was no other choice. Post op, I’ve still having physical therapy and it has been helpful but I’m cautious. I hope you are doing well and send you best regards.❤
I walked with no pain the same day as surgery, walked to my car, walked in my house. Gad to stop myself from vacuuming the next day. Figured it might be not the thing to do.
Surgery itself makes you tired and kind of weak. But I got stronger as days went on. I walked into the doctors office at the hospital one weak later with ease. Never had hip pain after surgery.
Just had my right hip replaced two weeks ago. Already walking around with no crutches! I did strengthening exercises before the op and you really need it, especially upper body core strength. I am due for the left hip in 6 weeks time, which is not nearly so bad (the right one was agony before), but I know how fast the bad one went from tolerable to sheer torture. I am so fortunate I can pay for this. (I have never gone private before.) On the NHS, I have not even received my first appointment. I'm so sorry for those who have to suffer for so long 😢. Get on the list!
As a follow-up to my post below, I had the Anterior Hip Replacement surgery at the end of May. I'm happy to report that after a little more than 14 weeks later, I'm completely pain free and I'm back playing doubles tennis 2-3x per week, and riding my bike 6.5 miles several times a week. Also, I can bend over to tie my shoes and can get in and out of the car without any problems. The most important advice I can offer is to be sure to do strengthening exercises 4-5 weeks BEFORE surgery, and to follow your surgeon's & physical therapist's instructions to the letter AFTER. The stronger you can become in your hip, thigh, glute and lower back area, the easier and faster your recovery will be. There are many excellent YT videos that show how to do these pre-surgery and post-surgery exercises. Good luck to those having the THR surgery.
Not a problem at all. I started tennis at an early age, too, so I'm sure that contributed to my hip issues. But now, post-surgery, I play doubles tennis on clay courts 2-3 times a week, and on the off days I either play Pickleball or ride my bike. No problems in the hip whatsoever. To be sure, I still do my strengthening and stretching exercises just as I did preparing before the surgery, and it's important that you keep up that regimen post-surgery. I was also very fortunate to have one of the most talented and experienced surgeons there is specializing in THR. Within one hour of waking up from the surgery, they had me out of bed and walking up and down the hospital corridors with the aid of a walker. In-home physical therapy started the very next day. Do your research, ask a lot of questions, and I pray that all of you experience the same results I did from my THR. Please let me know if you all have any more questions. @@rjb7569
@@scotthunt2479 Thank you for the reply! Very encouraging. As in other medical procedures the focus is always moving. Thought the anterior procedure was best for me at first. Now thinking about the shaving procedure that they used to only do only on younger people. Recent info has a lot of older folks (like me, 72) getting the procedure. Haven't been evaluated yet. Still in the investigating mode. Always been very active and want to get back to that before I croak. Played softball, for example, 'till I was 69 and the hip put me on the bench. Thanks again!
My surgery is at the end of May. I am so ready. The 'getting in and out of a car' and 'putting on shoes and socks' was spot on for me. Also tired of walking with a slight limp.
I hear you, Scott. Same issues here. Putting on sneakers and socks is torture, topped only (well, both situations are torture) by getting in and out of the car. Even worse as I have hernias on both sides, with the right being extremely painful. Same side as the worse hip. And this will be my 3rd hernia on left side. Lucky me. The cane has become my best friend. Wanna race? The loss of mobility is killing me.
Scott Hunt if you only had a slight limp you have nothing to complain about 8 months from my surgery I could hardly move at all with massive pain now after having my right hip replaced I feel great but my left hip might have to be replaced later this year.
I had both hips replaced, left in April 21 and right in April 22, not caused by arthritis, blood supply to ball joint had stopped, bone died , bits broke off and arthritis moved in, walking was painful, by the time I had my left hip done I could just about walk a mile or so with walking sticks, my dog wasn't happy! I ended up sleeping on the couch as too painful in bed,tried several new mattresses to no avail. I found that taking Glucosamine and Green lipped mussel helped with pain, I didn't know how well until I had to stop taking them 2 weeks before surgery, 1st week no difference, 2nd week I was in agony. My right hip replacement healed well, no pain from surgery only a dull ache, I was up and walking as soon as allowed to, on the other hand my left hip was agony, pain was off the charts, so bad I thought it had been done wrong, it took more than 2 years to heal, got rid of my walking stick in January 24 and now back to walking 8 miles per day at my normal 4mph pace [age 70]
On 8/5/23 I had my right hip replaced today is nearly 3 weeks after the surgery I feel great I did not need any pain medication other than Paracetamol 665 mg for the first 3 days I'm taking nothing now. That being all great I now need to have my left hip replaced later today 26/5/23 I have my first appointment with my Orthopedic team and on Monday 29/5/23 I will have my first appointment with the Physio team I will be talking to them about my left groin pain and I hope that it is not beyond Physio treatment!!
Wow thank you for explaining the 7 signs. I do have them all and I’m going to be 54 in December. I do feel my life has changed dramatically in the last 6 months. Simply walking is painful never mind other things. And one thing I haven’t been asked by my GP or physio is my ability to have an active sex life. It’s almost impossible 😢 Thank you for your honesty in the video. I’m continuing my strength training today I have a new exercise 1 legged sit to stand and sit - wow it’s so difficult. I hadn’t realised how weak my hip is 😢 But it’s reassuring to read the positive comments ❤
Thank you for sharing this! I am now 3 weeks post THR and have ordered your book to help make the most of hopefully a new lease of life and return to martial arts, having trained for the last 13 years. 61 now and too early to quit!
Yes. I tick allthe boxes. . been. Stub or. Decision wise. Impacting My back n biuttocks area. Thought it was a sciatica. . Become a permanent fixture and my lower bbavck. Hurts. As well as my ribs at the s4hriticv hip side especially. HElp. Are these symptoms also. Collateral damage. As I await surgery. Advice pls.. appreciate
I have hip arthritis secondary to a laterally tilted pelvis which is in turn caused initially being knocked off my bicycle 30 years ago anf then tearing the lumbar spine ligament linking to sartorius muscle to the knee after running about 100m one sunny morning. 😲🤪 But not quite ready for surgery yet.
I only have trouble with a couple of these but have trouble with a couple other movements- I have trouble sitting, especially crossing my legs sitting I have trouble sleeping and getting comfortable I don’t have trouble walking at all But the pain otherwise moves from groin to thigh to hamstring . I can’t lie on my right side without pain. This was my original pain about a year ago. I am 73, very fit. I ran pretty regularly til I stopped at 70. Nothing hurt then but now my right hip! 😥 Making an appt with an orthopedist
I have every single sign. Thanks for inspiring confidence in me that I’m not rushing for my hip replacement. I’m going in for bilateral replacement in 1 week 😅
Ding, ding, ding, and we have a loser. I have all 7, I actually named 6 of the 7 before watching the video. Thankfully, my surgery is the 28th of May. I cried when my Dr. started talking about walking with no pain. I'm so excited about that (at least with the left hip). Thank you for the video.
I had hip X-rays. My arthritis is moderate. They said I am not close to surgery but I am afraid by the time they are severe they will tell me I am too old. I have degenerative discs I had 2 knee replacements. I have Athritis in every joint. I am doing exercises now and they are helping.
Left hip Oct 2022. Right hip Aug 2023. I had all 7 signs but number 6. Now I have number 6 after the Aug 2023 surgery but I should recover that soon I pray (my wife is 22 yrs younger). But all in all excellent choice. No sense not getting total hip replacement(s).
I live on nsaids WAAAYY too much-cortisone injections used to work, but ive gotten so many of them that they dont last anymore. Regenerative injections cost more than i can afford. Getting in the car (I'm in the US) and driving is painful; it's my right hip that's the culprit. Want hip replacement but need to lose weight. Can't exercise because it hurts. Ugh. I used to walk. Can't really do that much walking now. I'm a mess. I've been told I need hip surgery. Can't wait. I'm encouraged reading the success stories of others.
My hip pain 1 Effect my sleep if i dont do exercise. If i dont exercises for the hip the night tightness will be worse. Pain is 2-3/10 but tightness of the muscles. Even if I do exercise (recomended by physio) the hip pain is also there but less. Applying heat oil is also good. 2 Not much range of motion problem if i warm up or do daily exercises. 3 Cannot play golf or badminton or run much. Pain of hip if i do. Mainly sleep problem. Level of pain is as describe above. 4 I brisk walk 3 times a week. But not too much the hip dont like it, so I do your hip joint exercises. So I walk only about 3km instead of 5km. Do I need a hip replacement?
I have trouble with the shoes and socks. I have the trouble getting into the car. BUT, that is caused by a pain on the left side in my back. I have bad pain in my left side. But, i'm hoping its whats called greater trochanter, and sciatica. I go for scans soon.
Very clear and concise. Im trying to avoid surgery, but I have all 7 signs to som3 degree and Im miserable. Although walking sometimes doesnt cause pain. Im a nurse and walk for 6 hrs at a time. I guess surgery is in the near future.
Don't avoid the surgery, I had mine done at the end of August and I'm so sorry that I waited. What a life changer!!! I dealt with the pain for 6 years. Won't do that with the other hip when it's time.
I have always avoided sitting on chairs. I lounge on a sofa unless up and about. I have read that sitting on chairs is also bad for blood circulation to legs.
I have most of them signs, they are recently getting worse but it's not just my hips, it's my knees and feet as well but the drs are not listening to me so I am now just waiting until the day I can't walk and the tell me that I actually need help so I can say I told you I did. They dismiss people for so long claiming covid all the time
I have six of the seven signs. But there’s one I thought that I would hear and didn’t. My hip gives out on me quite frequently if I try to step to the side on that hip side, small or large, it gives out. Where it gives out or where I feel the pain, when it does that is right in the groin area. Any comments would be great. Thank you.
I drive a manual car and I find my left ball joint locks up I have got to get out of the car and walk around for a bit, or get out of bed it will lock up, I find when I sit it is painful
@@Plugonetwo I had my left hip replaced in April 21 and my right hip replaced in April 22. Left hip only an ache after surgery, I was up and walking around as soon as I was allowed to and followed the typical healing pattern, my right hip couldn't of been more different, pain was off the charts and took 2 years before I could walk without a crutch/walking stick and no pain, same surgeon both times. Now back to walking 8 miles per day with my dog If you are on an NHS waiting list? ask your doctor if you can get on the "fast track" list
Ive got every symptom, had a phone call to say my x-ray showed I needed a hip replacement, a few months back. I see a physio who then sends me a link to go to sitting on a chair exercises once a week, was told 1 in 10 hip replacements don't work and can be complications and there's no turning back. I feel she may have been told to put as many people off as possible due to waiting lists time? All ive read and heard from people who have had hip replacements are all good outcomes. I'm 73 in constant pain and cant sleep properly, Sometimes I do take a co-codamol which does help with sleep but I'm scared to take to many due to becoming addicted. I'm at a loss now as to what to do, I don't drive so it will mean my husband having to take me to these exercise classes who has severe arthritis himself, His 75. If fail to turn up to these classes then what?
so i have 2, maybe 2.5 cant sleep, trouble with sox. i can get in and out of car, but i swing my legs to do it. i have adjusted,, but not painful.. that is why i say a half. sleep is the killer one.. I can put on my socks, because my flexion is ok.. Just my external rotation.. So i just adjust there also.. so what do i do
I'm 65 have all 7. Advanced OA in both. #6 not for sex but not able to have pap test which I've needed for a long time. Can't climb stairs or step upon a curb. Have to recline seat and lay down to get in car. Use a wheel walker in public, a two front wheeler indoors and a leg lifter with stirrup to get in bed. Can stand for only 1-2 min. In pain over 10 yrs. Take OTCs daily. Recv'd Rx for Tramadol, Meloxicam, Gabapentin and Hydrocodone Acetaminophen (NORCO). All were 'shirt button' medications - worthless, did nothing. No relief. Use sock & shoe assistant devices and grab-it sticks. Retired a few weeks ago and live alone. Not responsible for pet but live alone. No family. Know I need the surgery but am concerned about recovery. I'm in the USA and worried they'll want to release me from the hospital next day. Live on 3rd floor. Shoebox apartment. I'm frightened but I do need the surgery. Excellent video. Haven't seen one like this listing indications of necessity. Thank You.
get the surgery! pain will be gone. Yes you will probably need to go to a rehab facility where you will get PT, meals, help if needed w bathing. but it is worth it and insurance should cover most or all of cost.! sso worth it! I went to a Menonite facility. they were wonderful😊
Get hip resurfacing from COMPETENT doctors, you will be active as before. Professional athletes only get hip resurfacings to continue their career, like Any Murray, Patrick Kane.
@@enza3770 I think they do hip resurffacing over 60, just check out the right doctors, like Dr. Thomas Gross in SC or Dr. Edwin Su in NYC or Dr.James Pritchard in WA. Only a handful of the doctors can successfully do these hip resurfacacings. OR Dr. McMinn in UK.
Having left hip replaced next week. None too soon as I have most of these symptoms described in video. Wish me luck everyone!
Good luck!
How are you doing?

I drive a manual car and I find my left ball joint locks up I have got to get out of the car and walk around for a bit, or get out of bed it will lock up, I find when I sit it is painful
Had both hips replaced. I’m like new!
How long a gap between both surgeries? Thank you in advance.
same want to know
reply kindly
@@Plugonetwo I had my left hip replaced in April 21 and my right hip replaced in April 22.
Left hip only an ache after surgery, I was up and walking around as soon as I was allowed to and followed the typical healing pattern, my right hip couldn't of been more different, pain was off the charts and took 2 years before I could walk without a crutch/walking stick and no pain, same surgeon both times.
Now back to walking 8 miles per day with my dog
If you are on an NHS waiting list? ask your doctor if you can get on the "fast track" list
@@macraghnaill3553 thank you so much and cheers to a healthier life!
Ive got every symptom, had a phone call to say my x-ray showed I needed a hip replacement, a few months back. I see a physio who then sends me a link to go to sitting on a chair exercises once a week, was told 1 in 10 hip replacements don't work and can be complications and there's no turning back. I feel she may have been told to put as many people off as possible due to waiting lists time? All ive read and heard from people who have had hip replacements are all good outcomes. I'm 73 in constant pain and cant sleep properly, Sometimes I do take a co-codamol which does help with sleep but I'm scared to take to many due to becoming addicted. I'm at a loss now as to what to do, I don't drive so it will mean my husband having to take me to these exercise classes who has severe arthritis himself, His 75. If fail to turn up to these classes then what?
so i have 2, maybe 2.5 cant sleep, trouble with sox. i can get in and out of car, but i swing my legs to do it. i have adjusted,, but not painful.. that is why i say a half. sleep is the killer one.. I can put on my socks, because my flexion is ok.. Just my external rotation.. So i just adjust there also.. so what do i do
I have all 7 plus I can't walk on❤ uneven surfaces. I'm booked in for October 5th 2023.
How are doing today? It’s been 1.5 months. Wish you the best.
I’m 37 and need both hips done, damn it
I'm 65 have all 7. Advanced OA in both. #6 not for sex but not able to have pap test which I've needed for a long time. Can't climb stairs or step upon a curb. Have to recline seat and lay down to get in car. Use a wheel walker in public, a two front wheeler indoors and a leg lifter with stirrup to get in bed. Can stand for only 1-2 min. In pain over 10 yrs. Take OTCs daily. Recv'd Rx for Tramadol, Meloxicam, Gabapentin and Hydrocodone Acetaminophen (NORCO). All were 'shirt button' medications - worthless, did nothing. No relief. Use sock & shoe assistant devices and grab-it sticks. Retired a few weeks ago and live alone. Not responsible for pet but live alone. No family. Know I need the surgery but am concerned about recovery. I'm in the USA and worried they'll want to release me from the hospital next day. Live on 3rd floor. Shoebox apartment. I'm frightened but I do need the surgery. Excellent video. Haven't seen one like this listing indications of necessity.
Thank You.
I am near 71 and have 29 steps to get outside. This bum hip has to hold up till I get out of here.
get the surgery! pain will be gone. Yes you will probably need to go to a rehab facility where you will get PT, meals, help if needed w bathing. but it is worth it and insurance should cover most or all of cost.! sso worth it! I went to a Menonite facility. they were wonderful😊
No painkillers help for the pains im recejng
my hip ball has worn away can i still get help😫
Jesus, I have all seven signs - I guess I'll continue with my scheduled surgery in March
I have all seven signs. Do you think hip injections could help at this point?
I am having hip replacement jan 19 cant come soon enough.
how are you now ??
@samairasam35 I am 5 months post op for right hip it is doing great, had left hip done 3 weeks ago.
Get hip resurfacing from COMPETENT doctors, you will be active as before. Professional athletes only get hip resurfacings to continue their career, like Any Murray, Patrick Kane.
@@enza3770 I think they do hip resurffacing over 60, just check out the right doctors, like Dr. Thomas Gross in SC or Dr. Edwin Su in NYC or Dr.James Pritchard in WA. Only a handful of the doctors can successfully do these hip resurfacacings. OR Dr. McMinn in UK.
One side done 15 yrs ago,now at 88 do I want to go through recovery again?.
does right side recover properly ??
now do you want to do again in right side or left side ??
Dang...I have all 7!😢
I have none of the 7 signs.but i still have pain
Why did you not mention limping, can't stand on one leg to put your pants on, trouble getting off of toilet and in out of bath tub?
Total agreement on these additional symptoms. Also walking with a limp and/ or pigeon toed.
Live alone..sex is not a problem 🤣😂
Get married, sex isn't a problem. 😂
None of these videos mention the best therapy
Captain obvious.had thr 2yrs ago still can't walk.drop off.T800Aust
He should show some illustrations and don't let the camera focus on his talk.
