Hip Replacement

Good luck Goose, I don't know much about hip replacements other than my grandmother had one in the late 80's & did pretty well, but she didn't ride motorcycles. :s My dad had his left knee done about 2 years ago and he will be getting his right knee done later this year I think. It was pretty rough at first, but he was up and walking on it the next day. Therapy hurts, but it is the key. Take care & good luck. You will have friends here to support you while you recoup. :s
 
I had a hip replacement in feb. 06 at 48 years old and I wish I'd done it two or three years sooner. I never had any real pain after the surgery or during rehab compaired to what I was used to before the operation. I was up and walking with cruches in a few hrs. and was using just a cane after a week and a half. They kept me home from work for 6 weeks but I felt ready after 3 weeks. I haven't had any problem since.

My mom was going to get a hip replacement but opted to try injections first. 3 months later she's pretty happy. One good thing the Doctor said is that hip replacements are much easier to perform and have a much better success rate than knee replacements.

Tried the injection and that helped for a while. Hopefully I will be able to ride by Memorial Day. 46th B-day is the 31st and that will be a little over 6 weeks.
Thanks for the replies.

At 70 yrs old I had my left hip done on January 2nd. I am walking now and only use a cane when I am tired. My recovery has been longer than most it due to some hardware in my pelvis from a major fracture some 20 years ago. There is still some pain and it is calmed by walking,and light pain meds. I haven't been on the bike yet but it will be soon. I should have done it 10 years ago when my healing was faster. Don't wait, you'll feel much better very quickly.:D
 
Heading down to Pharr TX on the 29th for a week of R&R with the family. Looking forward to not seeing snowbanks for a while and hoping they're gone when I get back on the 7th. One week of work then going under the knife. Thanks for the replies and well wishing.
