Has anyone on here had to have a hip replacement and how long until you were back on your feet? I'm only 36.

It is a big possibility that I have avascular necrosis and will be having a bone scan very soon. I am a train wreck and would like to be prepared to hear bad news because that's all I usually get.

I've had both hips replaced. Based on my experience, you should be actually walking with a walker within a day of your surgery. They will get you out of bed to stand and walk a few steps. Depending on your surgeon's preferences and instructions, you may be allowed to weight-bear "as tolerated" using your walker. I was. I used a walker or two forearm crutches for the first month or so. Used the walker at home and the crutches when I went out. After my second THR, I was down to a single crutch within a month.

Good luck. You will be amazed at what a new hip can do for you.

no not me but hang in there

i havent had a THA, but Im a PT. Your PT should have you literally walking with a walker the next day with at least partial weight-bearing. Hip replacement is much much esaier to recover from than a knee replacement.

Hip replacement surgery has become very common nowadays. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.


Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.
