I had my hip replacement two weeks ago and on the road to recover. This vid is great but I haven't go a card! Anyway I have to be self caring now as my husband has been admitted to cardiac unit in ad so now home with my three little dogs. I have a lady walking my dogs three days a week. Life is not easy for me and I'm feeling very low. So I am glad I found your vid. Thank you.
I live alone, fell and had to have a partial hip replacement. My left wrist was fractured, too. It has been difficult managing my care and my 3 terriers. One is a blind diabetic. I miss my gardening. This is my 6th week and look forward to discussing why I went off pain medication early. The recovery is going well, but I need to get on a step ladder. A no-no until 12 weeks. I hope you and your hubby have a speedy recovery. Enjoy the holydays!
If you’re on Facebook check out the hip replacement forum. I’m four wks post op and the forum on Facebook helped answer many of my questions. This is an old vid. I had day surgery was home at the end of the day. Check it out on Facebook.
I had hip replacement 7 weeks ago, anterior approach. Surgery was at 11:00 AM, left the hospital at 7:00 PM.
Best recovery to u

Me too..left the next morning...5 weeks out and doing great...move normally but be mindful of how you move...
Just because they CAN discharge doesnt mean they should especially if your a senior...
Good information. But statements like "Don't Overdo it!" and "Don't stand for too longs." need some specifics. How would one know if they are about to "overdo it?" And is standing still for 4 minutes too long?
Had my left hip done September 28 last year and was back to work 20 days later. Getting my right hip done November 29 1921. Did very well and no pain medications when I went home...
1921
I had surgery at 7:30 am was home by 3:30pm .I had posterior TRHR .. I’m at week 3 and doing well
I'm going to be getting mine done soon
I'm on day 5 after hip replacement. Still have pain that is controlled, but not eliminated by meds. I can hobble with walker to pee/poop. Have only taken sponge baths. Waking up every 2 hours for bathroom and/or meds. Pain goes down IT band. Significant bruising in upper 3rd of thigh. The progress from Day 3 to Day 5 has not been significant, although the constipation is now relieved. I can stand for a fair amount of time with walker. I am never completely without pain, even with meds.

Im 60 and just had my 2nd hip replacement after 10 years living happily with the other replacement. I am more cautious with this replacement, but that being said, after 4 weeks of rehab I'm walking over a mile a day (with cane), swimming and biking for 20 minutes each day. Some discomfort in the hip area at times, but it is getting measurably better as time goes on. Can't wait to start hitting a golf ball again. Perhaps in 3 weeks time. The doc said I can work on my short game...so its off to the putting greens.

Hi how are you now in 2022 I’ve just had hip surgery
@@karengilbert9016 I’m doing as well as possible. Yoga, biking and swimming keep my hip connectors from tightening. Golf is not the best for my hips and back but I play anyway until it bothers me. How are you doing?
@@justtales hi thanks for your reply I’m trying to get strong had hip surgery done 1April I need to get walking more outside but not up to it yet in abit of pain . How are you ?.Rich Easton ?.
@@justtales feeling really tried need to go out and walk more April 2022Had hip surgery wish l could walk every day can’t do without cane .How are you Rich Eastern 😃
Great information. Just unsure regarding the advice given At 3.55 in the video it was said that after 2 weeks we can lay on the operated side, but never on the non operated side. Is this correct?
🤔
Same here. 🤔
Thank u very much.i learnt many things which I was not knowing in my 35 years of medical practice.
2011? 240p? Don't you think it's time for an updated video? Are you still on AOL or CompUserve?
With a 14400k modem lol
I had 2 anterior hip replacements. Amazing I was walking without a cane in 12 days.
No pain meds after 2nd day. They don’t agree with me. Best thing I did. I can get on the floor play with my grandkids. Don’t second guess putting it off. Go for it.
Did you have a transfer bench in tub? And I cannot fit my walker through my doorways.
I happen to enjoy my pain meds....lol.
They say in this video that one can typically leave after 2-3 days the surgery.
I'm on my own for my upcoming surgery.
Good luck to you, I just had mine done 3 weeks ago and it’s not bad at all!!
DO NOT allow the patient to lie on the surgically replaced hip. That is one of the most important precautions.
Tina Liepa it said to lay on the operated side🤔🤔🤔
Tina Liepa my doc said go ahead lay on that side
@@stakkbeats2217 I had mine done 4 weeks ago was told NOT to lie on it .
Had my hip replaced 15 days ago m 25 .....and gonna wait for the left until its working
I m also told to lie on the operated side.why doctor s gave different opinions
They don’t do joint replacement cards anymore according to my doctor
Any guidelines for what i can do and cant do afyet an osteotomy. Im 5 weeks post op and still walking with a walker at doctor's orders
I really appreciate your informative video. Thank you!
just had my 2nd total hip replacement on my left hip. my right hip ( Feb. 9 ) I felt great , felt better after the staples was removed. my 2nd surgery was ( June 17 , this year ) For My left hip. even with the therapy and the surgeons told me I had very weak leg muscles. in Houston , I never received a hip replacement card . this past Tuesday my home therapist was here. my leg feels weak and it does hurt. I got told by family I should be walking normal . but honest I tried my thigh feels like pitching . I try to do activities around the apartment I get so fatigue. this 6 of July my staples come out. I kinda know what to expect. I do want to get back to normal. I wasn't like this b4. :(
I've just experience bilateral anterior hip replacement. The right leg was the worse, however after a few days after surgery on my left side wasn't as bad. Right leg to walk was horrible. It's been a almost 2 weeks and I still can't put more weight on that leg. I'm currently rehabbing in the hospital to strengthen the new left hip replacement. That leg seems stronger but am unable to put my feet down. It's going to take me quite some time get my full range back. I can't wait for that day I can drive and eventually go back to working out at the gym and pool.

Never do hip replacement
Hi..I'm Hisam and 29 years old...This year I had done hip replacement surgery due to hip ball broken caused by excident last year...After seen this video, i learnt many things how to do and don't after surgery...I have question it is true hip surgery can do 2 times only after 1st surgery and what the next i need to do? Hope who can clarify to me. Thanks for this video..
Had my hip replace 32 years ago desperately need a new one when I first went to see about it first thing the surgeon said was I need to tell you things about the operation "firstly you could die " although I knew all the problems that could occur was not prepared for that to be the first thing said and it put me right off .My first replacement was not like the normal one, its called a Charlie and at the time hàad to travel to a hospital where the surgeon had performed three before ,I had to stay in bed for two weeks on my back hence took a clot on my lung 15 days later .I need a knee replacement on the other leg and think I should get this done first as I cannot get into a car because it will not bend and I'm now completely housebound so much that I can't get to a hospital to see a surgeon unless I get patient transport but with covid19 restrictions in place now don't know if I will be able to get on a list ,Im 79 now and wonder if I'll be eligible for an operation, couldn't go earlier as I was caring for my husband who was terminally ill .Must say I'm a bit afraid of putting myself through these operations as the anesthesiologist had a problem trying to administer the epidural on another operation I had four years ago ,wonder what would be the best operation to have first knee or hip
I am so sorry for your suffering and pain.Get your hip done first (anterior approach) Then do your knee secondly. The knees are more painful and debilitating
Hi how are you and your husband . I’ve just had hip surgery 2022 .
Please let us know how you are, Moira.
After replace ment i see my leg one Short one long. what is the problem please tell me about the fact.
Had anterolatrral approach
Watching this had just hit me I care for my grandkids and have animal's not ready for op yet but now I am scared for when I do . Stupid me thought I would be in and out of hospital the same day I struggle now and no one really helps me so I'm f###ed at least I know now
Just had my left done, stayed one night..... I hear that it’s a whole new surgery in 5-6 years ago
Same here, anterolateral approach, had first PT session 7 hours after surgery, left hospital 36 hours after I got there.
Syed Ali. Did you get any help?
I have just had my right hip Birmingham hip rersurfaced 16 sept 2013 and they say you can after 2/3 weeks lay on the operated side because that is helping push the hip in to place where it should be but not on the un op side because that will tend to do the opposite .....I am a bit numb down the op side and leg swollen still but getting better still need crutch though but its only been 8 days ,,,, waiting for my left one done next ,,
I am here because in the days of COVID’s I went home same day with no physical therapy accept climbing stairs.
At minute 3:58 I believe and am quite positive there is a mistaken instruction.
YOU MAY ALWAYS LIE ON YOUR UN-OPERATED SIDE. I have a BHR in my right hip. I sleep on my left side with the pillow between my legs.
Pls correct this inadvertant instruction ASAP
Thank-you

I'll never go under the knife again. I'm 3 weeks out and still have my staples in. I'm not begging and pleading for anyone to do their job. I won't be patronized or gaslighted ever again. Be the ward source for cheap gossip. Keep your weight down. Eat healthy and don't be a burden on anyone.

My Total Hip Replacement Journey - Anterior Approach • August 29, 2018 • Surgeon: Dr. Salyapongse Dublin, California
Hello everyone. I would like to share my Total Hip Replacement journey with you.
I am Dr. Judith Gayle Olund, having earned my Doctorate Degree in Organizational Leadership in year 2012; however, today I will share with you a much more personal journey - my decision for a total hip replacement.
Over my past 70 years, I have enjoyed a wonderfully active life that began with dancing lessons as a young child and have continuously enjoyed all physical activities throughout the years; even until most recently often dancing at the local pub Friday and Satuturday nights for two to three hours straight.
So yes, I ignored my slow but sure developing limp (over at least five years) and was finally diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips over one year ago (bone-on-bone).
I never really considered surgery, feeling confident that perhaps losing a little weight would help with my developing limp. So...I did work at it; I lost some weight and also began a wonderful collection of shoes hoping that they would solve my “walking problem" which was becoming more and more pronounced.
More recently, it was becoming a "challenge" to walk from the dancing pub to the pizza joint just three blocks down the road. My friends were wonderful, allowing me to lean on them (literally) as we went for our snack in the early morning hours.
I had never really been a pill taker during my life, but I began to take a couple of NSAIDS just before going out to my social affairs in hopes of walking better and hiding my "little limp.” Not possible; but, my friends were always so kind.
Finally I had a checkup with my general doctor Dr. Calvin Lei at Stanford Health Care in Pleasanton, California. We discussed my walking issue which resulted in a referral to my now orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Aaron Salyapongse of Webster Orthopedics in Dublin, California; however, after my first consultation with the surgeon...I remained very hesitant. Maybe all I needed was a shoe lift - funny how we rationalize when we just aren't certain about things.
Well, when my general labs were assessed - funny thing: I wasn’t even eligible for surgery because my blood sugar was a little high; and more importantly, my blood platelets were below the "normal" level important for surgery. So, I thought that just might be a "stop sign" for any surgery. Okay then - decision made. I thought it could be months before considering surgery again. Who knew?
Dr. Lei, my general doctor, soon referred me to an oncologist in order to checkout my blood platelet situation. Dr. Kavitha Raj, a wonderful oncologist with Valley Medical Oncology Consultants in Pleasanton, assessed my condition and informed me that while my low platelets were normal for me, my platelet count must be in a normal range for surgery. Okay, so I took some prescribed medication wondering how long this could go on. Who new?
A few days after the follow-up blood test by Dr. Raj, I unexpectedly received a phone call from Dr. Salyapongse’s office saying that I had been approved for total hip replacement surgery and was asked if I would like to schedule a date for surgery. I was definitely in shock...expecting to have months to reconsider surgery. I was then offered a surgery date in just two weeks which had opened up due to a cancellation. If I had not secured this opening, I would have had a month wait for surgery....that is, if I had decided to go ahead.
We penciled in the date. Two weeks.
So...because I was instructed not to take NSAIDS for ten days prior to surgery, I quickly realized how those little pills were actually masking my discomfort to a reasonable degree - more than I thought. By day eight without pills, I was reaching for the walls in my home (not wanting to put weight on my left hip); and, I was also compensating for my diminished hip movements by over-using my right knee which was becoming notably over worked. It was my time. I had a choice. Show up Wednesday morning for surgery, or go shopping for a cane and hideout more at home in the future.
I showed up for surgery: Total Left Hip Replacement by Dr. Aaron Salyapongse, - Anterior Approach scheduled for September 29th, 2018; having just celebrated my 70th birthday two days before.
I would like to share my surgery experience to add to your information gathering....but always remember, we are each uniquely different.
I showed up for total hip replacement surgery with Dr. Aaron Salyapongse at six-thirty a.m. on September 29th, 2018, for admission to the Stanford Health Care / Valley Care Hospital in Pleasanton, California.
Paperwork complete, it was now time - my time. I was escorted down the hall to the pre-op section and quickly asked to take two pills. I followed instructions and swallowed. Okay, I was then given my hospital gown, toothbrush, toothpaste, non-skid yellow socks to wear, and then asked to change and go potty; also, to brush teeth. Now it was time to get comfortable on the bed. So, I did. Three pre-op nurses were soon hovering over me -- each doing their task including the IV, asking many questions, and establishing monitors and so forth.
I froze.
What was I doing here? I questioned all my decisions in one moment. I asked the three nurses if it was normal to get "cold feet" about this time? My sudden tears prompted a three-nurse-cheering team offering kind supportive words of encouragement. My one minute freeze was over.
Soon the medical team and my family surrounded me. Dr. Salyapongse, my surgeon, now in his light blue scrubs was asking me what procedure he was about to perform on me. I replied, "A total left hip replacement, anterior approach, 4 inch incision, then moving the muscles with your fingers giving access to the ball to be sawed off, which made way to the socket area which would be replaced with new materials; then a "test" implant (to hold the new ceramic ball) would be fitted before implanting the permanent titanium implant."
He was impressed and said I could help : )
Well, somewhere along the line, the anesthesiologist mentioned that Dr. Salyapongse preferred that his patients have a spinal. Whoa…a spinal?
I didn't have much time for debate to my amazement because the “meds” were doing their thing and a good "cocktail" was lingering in my I.V! : ) So then, after being wheeled into the operating room, I barely cared when asked to sit up and lean forward for the "dreaded" spinal. I leaned over with no cares: at some point, the anesthesiologist administered two shots. I couldn't really tell.
Afterwards, I was asked to lay back and I did.
It seemed liked the next moment when I heard the words "wake up you're done." Done? I was having such a nice sleep after months and months of restlessness.
*****
After surgery: No pain. No nausea. No dizziness. I took one pain pill as more of a precautionary measure by end of day one. I was up and walking shortly after surgery to go potty (using a walker primarily to prevent any falls).
Day one after surgery: No real pain. I called it my "brick leg" but no pain. I was up and walking (using a walker primarily to prevent any possible falls).
Day two after surgery: I returned home, remade my new bed downstairs, and went upstairs for a shower. Nice. No pain.
I am presently enjoying my recovery time (Day 6) and continuing to take meds for continued healing and good health. I feel amazing. No more anguish when I walk. Of course as to be expected...I will continue with healing and adjusting to my new life, my new hip, and my new ability for excellent mobility.
My biggest lesson learned - let others help you when you can. Trust in the positive side of things. Accept blessings when they are right before you....and always give thanks.
Dr. Salyapongse, I thank you for your excellent skills and for your dedication to help others, providing them an opportunity for a second chance of continued mobility and healthy living.

Thanks for that re assuring
I thought you were going to say after the epidural you woke up unable to walk because of it, luckily it was a positive story in the end!
On day 2 you walked up a flight of stairs to have a shower???
What utter BS.
Obviously the clinic/dr is giving you a deal to promote them, but lying to people like this is unacceptable. I've had both hips done and know.
Medically fit does not mean you are able to return to everyday life .
don't resume your motocross career .......dammit
Or you could ignore all of this bullshit and simply get an anterior hip replacement and NOT a posterior hip replacement
