Hi guys said I would tell you when it was all over. Had the hip replacement on the 16th it was done by minimal invasive surgery and took only 50 minutes! I am doing well at home now hobbling around on my crutches.

My old Mum had 2 hip replacements after falling over in the Nursing home. I couldn't believe how quick she was to start walking again !!

thanks Kayjay the most difficult thing is remembering not to bend or twist because i feel so well and feel i can do everything. terrified of popping it out and having to go back to hos so being very cautious.

Yes Jenny I remember watching Mum in the hospital with my heart in my mouth as she has dementia as well she couldn't understand the physios or any instructions they and the nurses gave her. She just went merrily on her way [ with the zimmer anyway !! ] ........

Hi Jenny,

Glad your feeling so good after your op. I just wondered how old you are if thats ok to ask? Its just they are talking about doing both my hips and i'm only 30 so would really appreciate any first hand feedback from people who have had the op as I dont know anybody.

Take care

thanks everyone for replies, I am so glad i had it done, Hi Lucy I am 50 the doc wanted me to wait but the consultant said it was up to me and how i thought my quality of life was. since the op the arth pain has gone and the op was a lot easier than i thought it took just 50 minutes and i can honestly say i have felt very little discomfort and if i had to have the other one done i would not be afraid. I was done 12 days ago and I had my stitches out today and am getting around ok on my crutches. I take painkillers once or twice a day if a bit achey. Its great to be rid of the pain and the limp at last.

Thanks guys,

Hows it going Jenny hope your still recovering rapidly and your up and about.

I am now awaiting the left hip to be done and they said I will get my appointment for this in 2 to 3 month so not long now.

I was worried about my age but Paul you were alot younger than me at 30. How did you manage at 24 having this done?

Am worried but hopefully it will improve my quality of life no end

Hi Jill I am glad you are ok now. It seems that your fan base missed you on here! I am looking forward to being as normal as I can be soon and walking around properly again. I know what you mean about the constipation, the meds at the hospital made me very blocked. I referred to it as "operation stack" much to my partners disgust! those of you who live down south will know this is when the lorries are stuck behind each other in a jam waiting to go through the channel tunnel! lol All the best to everyone x
