Hip Pain And Replacements Posted: 08-17-07 12:30pm
I just turned 40 and had been having
tremendous pain in my right hip. I am
extremely active in sports (basketball,
kick fit, etc). The doctor requested me to
stop doing any high impact sports and
after further reviewing my X-rays said the
replacement was inevitable.
This news came down about 4 months ago and
since I have stopped all impact sports and
mostly everthing else. I have always
looked forward to a challenge and for the
most part that challenge was about (no
pain no gain). This is totally different.
Mentally this is very tough. Just venting
and I appreciate you listening.

38 With Total Double Hip Replacement Posted: 12-20-07 22:45pm
I'm 38 years old male. Very active now.
I was very athletic up until about 5 years
ago when hip pain got the best of me. I
had surgery in April of 2006 both hip
replacements at the same time.
Best thing I ever did. I'm back to
working out playing golf, playing
softball. I'm doing a mini triathlon in
April.

Any Thoughts On Elliptical Machines After Hip Replacement? Posted: 12-25-07 09:21am
Hello all, I had a complete hip
replacement, with both metal &
ceramic. I'm thrilled and should have
done it a LONG time ago. I was born with
congenital hip dysplasia, and this is a
miracle to me.
I want to exercise, and my husband & I
have considered getting an elliptical
machine. Any thoughts on using one of
those after replacement?

Re: Hip Replacement and much we can exercise Posted: 06-18-08 21:24pm
Well I'm glad I found this site too but
thinking maybe I should be a little more
careful. I just had my second hip
replacement this past February. All is
well and I feel great. Maybe too great
because I still want to do it all. I have
been biking and swimming and walking and
doing stretching exercises and sit ups in
the evening. I'm wondering now if I
possibly stirred something up with the
first hip I got replaced last year as I'm
finding now if I put my weight on that leg
for too long a time it becomes very
painful and I sometimes have trouble
walking until it seems to just work it's
way out. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks for all the advise. I will not be
taking up tennis I guess.

scared to have hip replacement surgery Posted: 08-05-08 21:22pm
I am a 46 year old woman, that has been
suffering from horrendous pain in my left
hip for over 4 years. I am told that I
have hip dysplasia, and osteoarthritis. I
can no longer do anything, walking is a
constant struggle. I cannot bend down, I
cannot even put on my own left shoe and
sock...even getting on pants and
undergarments is a horrible struggle. I am
scheduled to have minimally invasive total
hip replacement surgery in september of
2008, it is going to be metal on metal.
But I am terrified. I am scared of what to
expect. And also being the metal on metal
transplant is fairly new, and there is
some wear......I am concerned about the
metal ions causing me to get cancer. What
can someone tell me about the procedure,
the pain, the recovery, how I will feel,
handle it, and what about the metal ions?
thank you for any response
Helena
