Omg! this is by far the best breakdown I’ve watched on what to expect after my upcoming THR. Thank you so much!

Thank you Doctor

That's brilliant advice. I'm at six weeks now after my hip replacement and what you said is exactly correct. I ache after doing my exercises and wandered if this was right. But now you've said it's normal is a relief. It is getting better day by day,so looking forward to the twelve week period to see how well it is.

Most realistic and useful hip replacement talk I’ve heard yet!

An excellent video!

I had a hip replacement about a month ago. I've progressed from a walker, to a cane and now I am walking on my own. Mass General Hospital is amazing!

After more then a year I am very aware that I have a artificial join because I at time instead of just moving that leg with out thinking I have to think how to move the leg. So I don’t think the nerve connections to the brain are there or been recovered sometimes I can see that my foot wants to point inwards too .

Luck to find such a valuable info, Thanks Doc. Stay Blessed❤❤❤

Thank you,new hip 3 days ago this realllly helped in a simple way,not so worried anymore. Thank You😊

I might be at the end of the bell curve, but at 2 1/2 years after surgery the pain has finally subsided to slightly less than mild discomfort. Posterior approach. Bicycle accident, complicated slightly by vertical femur fracture requiring no weight bearing for 3-4 months. Healthy, athletic and active. No other alternative but the expectation of recovery in months to a year did not meet reality.

It was a wonderful vdo on post hip replacement surgery. I am diagnosed with AVN right femur head (both but r>l) and advised hip replacement surgery. I am a bit scared of surgery. Through your vdo I got courage to go through it.

I am 12 wk post op for a THR. called the Dr's nurse today to make sure some of my precaution could be lifted. She advised me not to bend more than 90 degrees yet. Well I was told by the surgeon at 12 weeks I could do my normal things. Well I help my hubby with our rentals and yesterday I caulked two bathrooms a kitchen and laundry room. But she said then don't cross your legs for a year. So what is what. I'm walking daily and yes was muscle sore but no worse than exercising. I am 75 years old!

Are talking about anterior or posterior approach? I had posterior 5 months ago. The thigh pain was horrible. I’m 54. I’m back to light jogging/pickle ball/tennis and feel no pain. I don’t think I could have played pickle ball at 3 months.

I broke my 2nd hip in Jan and I’m still walking with a cane. When I broke my first hip I recovered very quickly. I have been exercising diligently. Any ideas why I’m still having to use a cane?

That was very helpful - big thanks :)

Dear Doctor Yerasimides: What if a patient took great pains pre-surgery for 7 years to strengthen his 'abductor' and other core muscles (so as to avoid HRS). This person- aside from the hip issue cum limp, was in very good shape: 5'10 180, powerlifting, walking, gardening. Would he be significantly less inclined to develop the post-surgical limp you refer to circa 7:52? Thank you. Robert Allen, Ph.D.

My hip replacement is next month. What you have said is very helpful for me. My expectations are different now.

Hi, I found your video on a hip surgery search. I am sitting here at day 7 post-op reading this, because after the second night of some terrible pain, I was curious if this is nornal. Your video description of the first 7 days was SPOT ON!! At day 3, I honestly thought "this is a breeze" and by day 4 was ready to call my employer and go back to my remote desk job. I started taking more and more steps without my walker and decreased the pain meds. Well, then came day 6 and now 7, and your video is the exact reassurance that I needed. I'll make sure to take it a bit easier than I have been and work on the inflammation. I compare the pain to a major fall. The first days are excruciating pain and inability to move, constant pain. After those first few days, the pain is still very present, but shifts to more muscle and aches and that is very much in line with what you said about pain coming from fighting the inflammation. I was suprised how bruised and painful my knee is on the same anterior total hip replacement leg. The knee pain has been just as bad, if not worse than the hip. But, i also have "bone on bone" severe arthritis in both knees as well, with extreme pain even prior to the hip surgery. I just didnt expect bruising. Im assuming that's from those muscles being yanked during surgery and my knee being bent to it's flatest position on the surgical table for an extended amount of time. Thank you for reassuring me that the expectation is to start seeing improvements now after day 7 when the inflammation should be going down!

Thank you, I had my hip surgery 5 weeks ago and have been giving myself a hard time thinking I should be out of pain after doing my exercises by now and should I be pushing myself more but your explanation has made me realise that im doing ok really and its ok to be still taking pain meds when needed.

Is topical CBD as good as ingested CBD?

thank you for your valuable information .you have been a great help

very helpful! Great explanation of expectations, best I've seen.

2 days out from hip surgery and that searing pain is nasty. Thank you so much for your excellent explanation. I appreciate you!

The absolute best explanation of what to expect after a hip replacement.

1 day post op and really appreciate your video on what to expect. Excellent! I'll be referring to it as I progress.

I had a compressed femoral nerve and almost total palsey in my quad after direct anterior approach

This is so spot on. You were so accurate with everything you said. Thank you.

Doc, I'm gonna give it to you straight: You are tremendous! Your eye contact and delivery are fantastic. Great communication!

Thank you for this video! I'm at 10 weeks post surgery at age 75. I still have some ache at the top of my hip, but no pain.

This is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for being so informative. I live in the UK and am a former professional Ballet Dancer. I will be having my THR in july.of this year and your advice has really helped me to understand the healing process. I cannot understand why somebody would not have you as their surgeon . Sound advice.

Excellent video. I'm 2 weeks post-op, and this answered most of my questions about pain.

I had my 2nd THA six weeks ago. I've always wanted to know why I was feeling what I was feeling with my first replacement and my recent one. I've watched maybe a hundred videos for explanations but never really found the answers I was looking for until this one. It is by far the best, most informative and practical explanation that I've found. Great job Dr. Yerasimides! and thank you!

Thanks for putting together this video; very helpful in setting expectations!

I had posterior surgery nearly nine weeks ago, by four weeks I did not need the crutches, by five weeks I was back on the crutches, I have had a shooting pain through my buttock into my lower back with a burning sensation, although that has now gone, but now I have knee pain and pain in my quad and sometimes my groin, when I sit I do not have any pain, I do not know if this is normal, those that I know who have had hip surgery they had anterior surgery and they all were on their feet and very little pain, oh how I wish I were able to be pain free. On the up side I hardly had any swelling, no bruising and my scar although large healed perfectly

Definitely not a good experience

I Am at 29weeks anterior approach still get swelling everyday i healing very slow. My hip feels all scratchy inside.

Excellent video! The best explanation I have found ! Thank you !

My wife and I are both patients at Louisville Hip and Knee. They have performed 3 knee replacements and 2 hips. Everyone there treats you like family. They will spend all the time with you that you need. You can do no better than selecting them for treatment.

Is this particular to anterior procedure? I had posterior and no where near this quick a recovery.

I had a left THR done on 4/25 and am EXTREMELY satisfied with it. Yes you need to be mentally and physically ready for this surgery. You remind me of my surgeon and having total confidence with your surgeon is half the battle. He gave me several 8.5x11 pics of my hip (different angles/before and after) to which I found fascinating (I asked for pics lol). The pic he took in the OR is exactly like the one you showed. Thank you for posting this video. I'm sure it will put as LOT of people at ease. I, for one, did a lot of research on my anterior approach to prepare myself as well as tons of questions for my surgeon. God bless you and the work that you do 😁

I am a very active 67 yo home care nurse, post op 16 days and can say this is the BEST decision I have EVER made! Mine was congenitive.... bone on bone/osteoporosis. Much numbness down the IT band (feeling is coming back now). Home PT has helped, now I have out patient PT. Since day 1 I have walked each day approx 3500 ft. Yes I had swelling but NO pain thank God. Elevate and ice. I stopped the Tramadal 24 hours after surgery and just took Tylenol. I used the walker for 5 days then the cane now I'm walking on my own! I know...everyone is different but I just wanna say if you have pain and your quality of life is shot REPLACE IT! Don't walk....RUN. You wont regret it 😁 And don't forget....they can't hit a moving target so keep moving!

That was my experience @week 5 now,I'm certainly listening to you DR! I'm a RN too,so the most important quality to have is patience!

Brilliant video. Thank you

I truly appreciate the details here. I had my hip replaced three weeks ago and getting some details about the progress within recovery and how things should feel, is great! They are so concerned with falls in the days immediately after that they don't talk much about what happens a week - 4 weeks out. I'm baffled that my checkup isn't until 13 weeks and they said I'm on restrictions until then... but I like your 6 week recommendations! I'm eager to get back to cycling.

Dr Y did my surgery and it went exactly as he described.These videos are so helpful at easing the anxiety about the surgery.

Thank you for this very informative video. I am 6 weeks post anterior total hip replacement and my experience is exactly what you have described. I was worried that I still have some pain but your explanation was very helpful.

This is definitely by far the most easy to understand video. I feel that it will help me ease my fear. Having a TRH replacement in 2 months and I’m scared. Thank you for this video.

Excellent video, Doctor!! Thank you for the most detailed explanation of post-op expectation. 🙏🏻

Thank you. Very helpful.

I’m getting a hip replacement in just about a month. None of the videos that I have watched over time mentioned anything about the leg swelling increasing and the pain increasing so many days after surgery. This video was the most informative video I have watched. Thanks
