Cycling and Yoga

Hello,
I have bone-on-bone arthritis in my left hip and will need a total hip replacement. I like to cycle and do yoga. If there is anyone that has had the operation and continues (after rehab.) to do these activities I would love to hear from you. Has it made yoga or cycling better or worse and
has anyone had hip dislocation after surgery?
Thanks,
Anne.

Hello annek and welcome to the forum. I think your best bet is to put these as separate topics on the Living With Arthritis forum – ie yoga and cycling as one topic and the dislocation as another.
I have two THRs but my RA in virtually every other joint means these were never problems for me I'd guess that cycling will be fine as long as you don't try to do too much too soon. (See here
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Hip-replacement/Pages/Normansstory.aspx ) Yoga, I think you have to be more careful about and some positions will probably be out while others will be good. Your best bet would be to ask your physio post-op, make sure you have a well-qualified tutor and also make sure the tutor is fully aware of your medical history. Then just go for it
If your muscles are strong pre-op then that will stand you in good stead post-op. We have had one or two dislocations on here but I'm glad to say neither of my THRs were involvedIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
