Anterior approach...less tissue disruption, faster rehabilitation, fewer restrictions during recovery, less pain, and better mobility, I am told.
Thank you!
After almost three years of avoiding the inevitable and limping, I will have a hip replacement on 4/4.
Anyone here undergone this procedure? Any tips? Recovery time? Did you have it done in a hospital or an outside clinic?
Going in at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning for my hip replacement at a surgery center in New Port Richey.
Operation should start at approximately 7:30 and I should be walking out to go home by 1:00 in the afternoon.
I will post an update when I am able to post.
Thank you for all your input & advice.
Good afternoon.
Had my hip replacement done on Wednesday morning. Arrived at Longleaf Surgery Center in New Port Richey at 6:00 AM and was heading back home at 12:30.
I was surprised at how little pain I felt. I actually had more pain before walking in.
I now have taken more pills in less than three days than I have taken in the past five years. I've had some side affects like constipation and have had a terrible case of hiccups. Getting a prescription right now which will hopefully help.
The coordination between the surgeons office, the surgery center, nurse, and therapist has been impressive.
Doing my exercises which do hurt a bit but overall this has been better than I imagined.
Thank you again for your suggestions and good wishes.
Awesome. So glad you are doing well. My wife had her consult yesterday. We've decided to wait till the fall. She got her first cortisone shot. Hopefully that will give her a little relief. Keep us informed as to how you're doing.
Keep an eye on her blood pressure and any signs of circulation problems. A bad hip can cause complications beyond just trouble walking.
