Post operative pain.

anijen

Fourteen weeks post hip replacement surgery and all has gone fairly well until now - I'm now experiencing more achiness and stiffness in the hip and thigh and am sometimes limping again. I've had two follow-up appointments cancelled and only saw the consultant two weeks after the op. Has anyone experienced increased pain at this stage - is it a normal part of the healing process?

Hi @anijen ,

Several of our members have had hip replacements in the last year and have kept a diary of their surgery and post op recovery - you might find the answer to your question in some of their posts. Others have also contributed their experiences too. Here’s one of the threads: https://community.versusarthritis.org/discussion/61897/thr-my-new-life-as-a-bionic-person/p1
