Hello Jason,
I too had a total hip replacement, anterior surgical procedure. I still have pain, after 5 weeks post surgery. The evening after PT really gets rought. Ice packs at night help. I understand that after about 9 months or so, the hip will start to loosen up and with excerise and PT, and the healing process it will get better. The muscles have to heal and I know how impatient we are to get back on track and back to normal. Yes, the weather does effect me also. However, it is nothing compared to the pain I had before the surgery. My hip would go out and I would fall in the floor and could not stand more than 20 minutes and be in bed for days. So, this is a piece of cake compared to that. I have a cane that serves me well.
Be patient and do what the PT and doctor says, and I am sure you will be better in time.

I was in a car accident almost two years ago and had pins put in my hip. I too live in pain on a daily basis, sometime heating pad or ice will will help a bit. I was wandering if anyone has ever tried acupuncture? I also do suffer from nerve damage......I too will need to face a hip replacement in th future..Anyhow Jason I noticed you live in south florida and your around my age, so it you have some time to write about your expierence that would be koollll.....till next time
