How Long Does the Pain Last After Hip Replacement Surgery Posted: 08-13-06 22:59pm
I'm 26 years old, I had my hip replaced
two months ago, and I still have pain, it
is a different kind of pain and its not as
ongoing as it was before the surgery. But
its still very bothersome.
My questions is this- when someone has a
hip replacement how long are they in pain
after the surgery, (i know it varies but
give me an estimate)
also- does the pain ever completely go
away? Including weather pain?
Thanks

Hip Replacement Pain Posted: 08-28-08 19:32pm
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.

hi jason Posted: 09-16-08 10:15am
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
