I just had THR about 7 weeks ago and thought I'd be all healed by now with no pain living my life like never before. I still am on a cane and my doctor seemed to be surprised by my slow progress. It's been very depressing realizing that it will be a long progress and like the person who commented above - I too have been having horrible pain on my opposite hip. I have never had problems with my left hip and now it actually hurts more than my right hip (that got operated on)! All I heard was how fast people recover from THR and have a better quality of life. I just hope this is true for me even if it takes 6 to 12 months! Thanks for the all the information.
