    Hello poultonreds and welcome to the forums from the moderation team.

    I am very pleased to meet you after your recent hip replacement. Better late than never though!

    This is a useful link to information about hip replacement surgery by Arthritis Research UK:

    https://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis-information/surgery/hip-replacement-surgery.aspx

    If you read down there is information about recovery and looking after your new hip.

    We have a great community here, who have lots of experience of arthritis, I know they will make you very welcome and help if they can. Hopefully someone will be along soon to share their experience.

    I look forward to seeing you posting in future.

    Best wishes

    Ellen.

    Hi there. Congratulations on the new hip. I hope it's as big a success as mine. Just listen to the docs and physio and do as they say. Don't try to rush things. You won't go far wrong.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I had mine at 30, now 45.
    You don't need to come to terms with it, within a few months you will forget you have it.
