Had my THR done this week. The evening after the surgery sucked. I am 3 days in and things are going great. Thanks for all the advice.
I had both hips replaced due to years of hip arthritis when I was in my early 60s. Mine are Birmingham-style protheses since I have healthy bones. Six weeks between surgeries. Each took a few hours and after showing I could walk and navigate steps with crutches (for safety) I was on the way home. I was not allowed to drive for a time, and was required to have someone with me for the first 24 hours after surgery. The drugs are really good, no pain. I was given exercises to perform at home. After about a week the crutches were replaced with a cane for a few more weeks. Once I could comfortably walk a certain distance the cane was gone. It has been a life-altering experience. I run half marathons now.
Wow
Having a pre op mid next month. Thanks for the videos and your sharing is giving me confidence that everything will be ok.
When I was in the hospital on day 1 during PT there was a lady who had just had a knee replacement who did not have a home plan in place. I felt bad for her. The staff tried to encourage her that they would find a place. I spent 3 months planning and preparing because of the information in your video along with the literature the hospital provided me during my pre op 2 weeks prior to surgery. We all had the added challenge this year of the electric company turning the power off during wind events. i had been home from the hospital 3 days and the power was out for 3 days. I had planned! M new y motto is " plan for the worst, hope for the best". Prepare before your surgery! All business were closed during the outage and again, the information on this site helped me to " shelter in place" and do a bit of PT at home by candle light. Another power outage is scheduled for the next 2 days, so again. I can do this because of these supportive videos. Thanks, you have no idea!!
Hi susan. Power outages is a situation that we do not discuss in our videos! Sounds like you have been a lot but came through very well. Ongoing good luck in your recovery. Thanks for watching
Having my second hip replacement this month. Did well with right hip 4 years ago. Your advice coincides with my surgeon. Thanks for your time & good advice.
Very welcome Paula. Best of luck with #2. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great video guys. I am 6 weeks into my recovery, great to hear thedoesand donts, thanks a million
Hi Gordon. Congrats! You are well on your way. Glad we could help in any way possible. It is an operation that really changes lives. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
Had THR on October 22nd (2 weeks ago) - this is best content i've seen. Thanks from the U.K fellas
Hi Christopher. Thanks for the kind words from across the pond. Hopefully you are doing well. We worked hard to try and make the content useful, appropriate and not super boring. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck in your recovery. And thanks for watching.
Scheduled for surgery in two weeks and have been very nervous . Very thankful to you both for the time you took to make these videos.

How r u doing after the surgery?
My husband is struggling a week after surgery already
We r very frustrated
@@singinprofessor5260 create another thread and tell us about your husband...
Had the surgery yesterday, now reading this again. It’s really helpful. You guys are so serious here, glad to see you’ve evolved into funster surgeons!
Hi Jennifer. Congrats! Yes at the beginning It took a lot more energy to stay focused and on topic. Now it is more natural! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I scheduled my hip replacement today. I have watched several videos about "before and after" things to do. You guys are FANTASTIC. I am retired and not very active. I HOPE that lowers the probability of a disjointed hip after my surgery. Thank you so much for your videos.
Hi John. Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Good luck with your surgery and your recovery. Thanks so much for watching.
the risk of disjointing are probably quite low because you will be in so much pain every time you move you wont want to move!
Wow. This was great. You two work well together and present an easy to understand video(s). I'm going to watch your other videos on hip replacements later. Thanks for sharing/posting! Cheers!
Hi Ontario Andrews. Thanks so much for the kind words. We have worked together for almost 20 years. Enjoy the other videos and thanks for watching.
Your videos are invaluable to orthopedic patients who need honest information from professionals about the risks and rewards of hip replacement surgery. Thank you for providing these videos to the online community.
Thanks Danno. We feel the same way and trying to do a small part to provide useful, credible information about orthopedic surgery to hopefully help patients make decisions and have a successful journey through whatever their problem is.

@@TalkingWithDocs All their videos are spot on and truthful. I had mine done 4 months ago. Was walking without Walker in 2 weeks. Returned to work after 3 and I drive a semi locally. I was doing my normal mountain bike riding routine within a month. First week was hard. I didnt get any physical therapy. Didnt need it. The physical therapist at the hospital showed me what to do as far as walking stairs. I have stairs in my home so I'd walk stairs several times a day and do leg lifts. The more I'd walk as the days progressed the better my hip would feel. I was completely off pain meds by like day 9 but still take a small dose of meloxicam because my other hip is bad too but not as near as bad as right hip was so am trying to buy some time.
Agreed!
I just so enjoy your videos, having been through both surgeries. You handle this whole thing so well. I guess I am lucky, as both hips and knee were easy, although knee was painful. I have no pain at all from any metal parts. I rarely every swell, which makes my doctor very happy and I heal fast. Your Patients are lucky to have you two, as you both have a great outlook on it all.
Thank you so much Marlene for your kind words. All the best to you. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Good humor thru-out. Very informative
Best UA-cam Channel for medical advice orthopedic surgery advice! Both doctors are awesome with their hearts in the right place. Thank you DOCS!
Why thank you THE SEEKER
Thanks a lot
I really feel much better . These type of videos are helpful
I am now going through rehab exercise program and find all your discussion is right on point. Good job!
Thanks so much Ted. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Thank you! You've both covered a lot of valuable information which is hard to think of in a post-op office visit with one's surgeon.
You are very welcome
Both of you as highly trained specialists create a feeling of ease. I experienced my first right side replacement at 54 years old. Now I am waiting for my left on the 27th of April. Surgery and technology have come a long way since 2012. Plus it helps to have a daughter and son-in law as PMN&R Specialist. They keep asking about the pre-hab. Excited to get the anterior approach this time. I want to golf by late August.... Keep these videos coming!!!!! 🙂
Awesome Greg. All the best
Just had my left hip, anterior entry. Walking with no problems at 9 days. I feel alive again.
You guys got me through a total knee replacement 18 months ago and now I’m getting ready for hip replacement in October. Thank you for your service and sharing your experience and expertise. All the best to you both
You two doctors are excellent communicators. You are informative and your humor keeps a stressful listener at ease. Thank you both for taking time out of your busy schedules to make these interesting videos.
Thanks for these videos! You give great information and great personalities.
You are very welcome Jazzysweets H! It is great to hear you found them useful. We are going to work hard to keep providing useful, informative and possibly entertaining content.
I was just informed I will have to have a total hip replacement and I am scared. Thanks for answering all the questions I had! Great video!
Hi Brenda. Hopefully we can help reduce your fear. Getting a new hip is a big deal so some hesitation is totally understandable. Try to do what you can to be as prepared as you can. Good luck and thanks for watching. Keep us posted
I have a young friend, 18 years old with Down syndrome, that is scheduled for a total hip replacement. I have shared your link with his mom to help them prepare. He is non verbal and quite developmental delayed so the more information they have the better. Thank you for these videos❤️
You are very welcome Kim. We hope the videos can be of any small assistance. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you so much for the clarifying so many issues. So helpful.
Glad you found this video useful.
Ok guys great video. I have just had a hip fixation done with just screws how long do you think I will be off work? I am a builder & self employed so I am not getting paid for being off . How long can I jump on my bike & cycle any info will be greatly appreciated thank you. Kind regards UK England
Thank you, guys! I can't wait for a new hip w/o pain.
Hi Patrick. Thanks for watching. Good luck.
I couldn't either but I just had my hip replaced five days ago 😃
Thankyou both so much, had hip replacement 10 days ago and was looking for some advice
Your video was perfect and answered every question that l had
Thankyou so much and all the best from Scotland 🌺
Hi Velvet181. Glad to hear you are on the mend and through the first 10 days. Very happy to have helped in any way. Continued good luck. Thanks for watching our channel and for subscribing if you did.
I don’t know if you docs read our comments, but I just love you guys! I’m 71 year old female fixing to have hip replacement and I wish I could have one of you guys as my surgeon. Y’all just seem like you would be so much fun going through this process. But alas, I live in Texas and I do have a good Dr. Keep up the informative videos.
You are so welcome Penny! So glad we can help and wishing you the best in your upcoming procedure
You two are so informative (and entertaining!) Thank you for putting my mind at ease by answering so many of my concerns and questions about my upcoming hip replacement surgery. You are providing a great service to the public!!!!
Why thank you Olivia. All the best with your upcoming hip replacement
Thank you Doctors for this video. I learned a lot.
Hi J Scott. You are very welcome. Glad to help.
Thanks for such an informative, laid-back video. Your water bed quip drew a chuckle. I'm going in for surgery in a month, and I'm probably no more nervous than most people, yet I consider myself to be a bad patient. One thing that helps is having a sense of humour. I'm already preparing my jokes for the day of surgery. I know that hard work and patience will be required, but I'm looking forward to being pampered and fed by friends. Thanks again.
Hi Ramon. So glad we could help in any way possible. Thanks for watching and good luck with your surgery. Keep us posted.
Brilliant video as usual guys, and the little bit of comedy between you two is hilarious, cant wait for your next one. Liked and shared
Thanks for your support Gordon!
Thank you so much Docs,I had my third knee replacement on the 8th Dec 21 and on the 10th March 22 I'm having a hip replacement. So I'm so grateful for your advice As I'm not sure what to expect after the hip. So thank you again.
Very welcome Bernie. Best of luck with your hip replacement. Typically it is easier than The knee.Thanks for watching And subscribing
Very interesting video docs as always! Good to know about hip replacement if I ever need to have one in the future. Thanks love you guys! 😊
You will be ready Alida! Thanks for watching and subscribing
i like these two , good , clear advice
Thanks Susan. We give the same advice in the videos that we give our patients in person. We try and keep it simple. So glad you found it helpful.
Here is another expression of appreciation to both of you for making these videos .
I was originally booked to stay an extra night at the hospital .
I'll have to talk to the surgeon about the possibilities after surgery . pww
You’ve got this Paul!
Great video Docs very interesting and informative. Thank you sooo much!
So welcome Darlene. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Excellent discussion. You answered many questions that I had not thought of. I am 74, have a hip replacement coming up, and am trying to be prepared and informed.
Hi John. Good luck with your surgery! Thanks for watching and let us know how it goes. Glad we could help in any way.
@@TalkingWithDocs I am having a hip replacement in 3 weeks. What kind of pain should I expect on my first day? Is it tolerable with meds?
This is so very helpful. Thank you so much , my replacement surgery is in early 2022
Ok Rayna. Then you should be good and ready. Very welcome. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Very good video and information. 👍I have extreme pain from spinal stenosis in my left leg (for 9 years) and four spinal surgeries that did not stop any leg pain. Discovered my left hip needs replacement, so having that done in a few weeks. The nerve pain makes it feel as if my knee and ankle are broken so I have no idea what sort of pain will be lessened by the hip replacement. Also I despise the opiate pain meds as they give me diarrhea that is worse than pain. but I have never felt any pain relief (just wacky brain function) from a dozen different pain meds including morphine. I can only hope the hip replacement helps so I can walk and reach my feet without as much pain. Even Mayo Clinic would not help me with the spinal stenosis. I have four lumbar vertebrae fused with rods and screws. I've been watching hip replacement surgeries on YT. Great praise for the doctors and staff that perform this surgery. Amazing work and skill.
Thanks for your video. I was hoping to start a new job in February but sounds like I'm going to have to turn that down because I would need to drive. Darn. 🤕
Hi rizzle. You are welcome for the video. Good luck to you as you get ready for your surgery. Sounds like you have a few things going on so your course post-operatively may be different than average. Just press on slowly and good luck to you. Keep us posted and thanks for watching.
I'm 7 days on from THR and found the advice really helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I love watching you two! Great information and entertaining! I am having total left hip replacement in 3 weeks! Your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much!! God bless you both!❤️❤️ Wish you were my surgeon!
Ok Betty you’ve got this!
Great advice! My surgery is tomorrow! I feel well prepared! Thanks guys!
Thanks for the info, best channel for this kind of info. I'm scheduled for THR here in the UK in 2 weeks, and am very worried about post op recovery pain, in two minds about pulling out of the op :(
Hi Tim. Thanks so much. Totally normal to be nervous. Total hips typically do very well and the pain is very manageable. Knees on the other hand … best of luck with your decision. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I watched your video a while ago and now I am post operative by 6 weeks. Thanks for all the advice you give, it was very refreshing to hear. I still have minor discomfort but am doing everyday things and without any walking aid.
Glad to hear it Colin. So glad we could help get you through your surgery. All the best going forward. Slow and steady wins the race. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing if you did.

Just got my right hip done yesterday and Im 23 years old so this is tough to accept but it is what it is and its all moving forward and getting better from here. Gotta get my left one done also in a couple months!
Oh wow Rod. Best of luck with your recovery and number two. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs anytime! Thank you for giving me advice and knowledge about a hip replacement!
Thanks Docs. Had a total hip replacement 5 weeks ago and I found the information in your video very useful. I am 59 and have had to slow myself down a bit, because I'm too eager to get on with life. I fully take the message about being cautious to avoid dislocation in the early days and by being patient you end up with a better long term result. Kind regards Mark
Hi Mark. Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you are doing well and we wish you all the best with your new hips. Thanks for watching.
Your video quality sure got better, and you got way better in front of the camera as well :)
Having THR this Tuesday, this is great advice. Thanks from snowdonia.

Hi Liuba. Unfortunately we only speak English fluently. But thanks for watching!
Quess what drs because of you i have planned my after care. I know since i am a social worker in health care we are the worse patients. Thank you again. I keep listening . I see my surgeon in 2 weeks. Thanks. ❤
Well docs i have seen my surgeon. My date is dec 4. I have preop very soon with the class as well. Im nervous but tired of all this preparation. I have a support person. And the church is helping me. Im going to rehab because im alone. I have to take care of that mess. They are not as easy and efficient as you. Hope to talk to you all. By the way thanks for being here for me ❤❤❤
the "anterior" approach to hip replacement which I just had at Cedar Sinai in LA (Marina Del Rey - DrTiberi - WOW!)
i am amazed at the way. Truly remarkable.

Great advice Guys!
Glad to hear it Ebb. Thanks for watching.
Thanks you two..love your video's...makes one feel real good😊
Thanks Sandy
Talking With Docs Have a Great day!😊
I can't cross my legs now. That won't pose a problem for me. Lateral is new to me. I knew about anterior and posterior so, I gotta look this up. You are great. I LOVE your "Mr. Carell, Steve if we may" video (he was seated crossing his legs so his surgery must have been a success)
Fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you both so much….such a great help
This was so informative. I have surgery 8/16/19, and am teting to gather as much clinical information as possible. The last question...when can I go back to work was what I was wanting confirmation of, and is in line with my consult. Thank you both.
Hi J Kimberly Walker. Usually patients go back to work around 3 months if they are able to stay off work that long. It simply allows them to recover and adjust to their new hip. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
awesome presentation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Robert. So glad that you liked it. Doing our best to get the word out.
Had THR a month ago and I'm still dealing with pain (definitely that different kind of pain though) and I'm not as mobile as I thought I'd be a month later. But, I was down for almost a year before surgery. Literally could not hardly walk, period. Because of my age I had an extremely hard time finding an orthopedic surgeon to do the surgery. My muscles have definitely depleted so I'm going to have a ways to go to get built back up.
Hi Gypsy Dover. Well the hardest month is typically over! Good luck to you and thanks for watching.
I was also down for a year and going around my apartment in an office chair, sounds like our situations were so similar. My physical therapist showed me how to walk upright taking longer strides and not walking and small fearful steps.I'm 16 days post-op and it's still very tight and sore at the top of my thigh and I'm really sick of ice packs. The exercises help.
Luv u guys! I am told i need hip replacement. I am scared. Not wanting this. You are helping me diffuse my fears. Ty

Hi K Scarto. Congratulations. Keep working hard and you will continue to improve. Thanks for watching.
Hi. Glad I found this four-year-old video. Another good one, Docs. Thanks! I'm having my right hip surgery next Thursday (woo hoo!). One of my sisters says she'll come and stay afterwards to help me. How long will I need her help? Is it necessary? What will I need help with? Hope you guys are all good in Canada. Are things back to 'normal' yet? Here in New Zealand, it's pretty much normal, though we do need to keep vigilant, and not become complacent.
Hi Trish. Yes you New Zealanders have done very well with the virus. We are slowing returning to normal - whatever that is. Glad we could help. You will likely be quite independent and not really need help. You will be slower but having her around for a week or so would probably help. Best of luck Trish. Keep us posted. Thanks for watching
So here we are exactly one year later. Bilateral knee replacements doing fantastic and still off cigarettes! No one is more suprised than I. Stress the pre-op PT it made all the difference! Dr

Ha drive through!
These two need to tell patients things that won’t cause dislocations!!!! Like sleeping on sides. And PT that causes any lateral movement. Probably the best therapy walking. Sleeping on a recliner first 3 days helped me.
If knees and hips both need replacing which one do you recommend be replaced first? Love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make for the general public.

I got my anterior THR yesterday at noon. I have burning pain at top of thigh and swelling. PT guy was proud of me for sitting on the edge of the bed finally without feeling like I was going to pass out, but I couldn't use the walker but a couple steps without feeling woozy. I want out of this hospital because I'm pretty stressed. Addendum: I did 6 stairs and walked a short distance in walker. I got teary watching your videos, not to be mushy.Friend coming 6:30 to pick me up.
Hi El. Congratulations on being done! Glad we could help in any way. Go slowly and do your best. Each day will typically get better. The burning can be related to nerve pain from traction during the anterior approach. Best to watch it carefully and inform your surgeon sooner rather than later. Thanks for watching and for subscribing if you did.
Thank you! Already on 4th post-op day I got my operated leg on the bed easier!
You are very welcome. Nice El!

Thanks for providing this useful information. Regarding the common response "you can walk after knee replacement but not run". I don't understand the difference it has been shown the impact force from running is very similar to the for from walking. The force with running is slightly greater but the force is exerted for a shorter time than walking. Hence conclusion was the force of both activities are similar.
Also I am a barefoot runner which has been shown to inflict less force than shoes.
Hi Craig. This topic is a bit controversial. In general, running does not cause arthritis however the impact of running does accelerate arthritis faster than the lower impact of walking. And yes footwear and orthotics vs barefoot running is another topic that is being investigated further. Here is one abstract that looked at force of walking vs running. Impact Forces of Walking and Running at the Same Intensity.

Abstract
Moderate-intensity walking (horizontal, WH), vigorous-intensity walking (incline, WI), and vigorous-intensity running (horizontal, R) were compared. The hypothesis is that running creates greater loading forces than walking even at the same aerobic intensity. Young adults (10 M and 10 F; age, 22.8 ± 0.5 years) performed 3 exercise trials in a counter-balanced order: walking 5.5 kph at 0% grade (WH); walking 5.5 kph at 11% (WI); and running at 8.0 kph at 0% (R). Oxygen consumption (V[Combining Dot Above]O2), step frequency, peak vertical ground reaction force (VGRF), and vertical force loading rate were recorded during the last 5 minutes of each trial. Results are mean ± SE. Net V[Combining Dot Above]O2 during WH (10.5 ± 0.3 ml·min·kg) was significantly less than WI (26.3 ± 0.3) and R (25.1 ± 0.7 ml·min·kg). Step frequency was significantly greater during R (163 ± 1.5 steps per minute) than both walking conditions (WH, 128 ± 1.0 steps per minute; WI, 126 ± 1.2 steps per minute). Peak VGRF was significantly greater during running (844 ± 47 N) than both walking conditions (WH, 581 ± 27 N; WI, 565 ± 28 N). Force loading rate was significantly greater with R (8,214 ± 26 N·s) than WH (6,497 ± 15 N·s ) and WI (5,699 ± 16 N·s ), with WH > WI. Vigorous-intensity walking produced no greater loading forces than moderate-intensity walking. However, running at a vigorous intensity produced substantially greater loading forces than walking of the same intensity. These findings suggest that vigorous aerobic exercise may be performed without elevated orthopedic stress, depending on the mode prescribed.

@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you for your response and information
Thank you Docs. If you would talk about hip revision surgery, how it's different in recovery also you mentioned staples but my doc says they don't do staples only dissolveable stitiches
Hi Lana. So we use dissolveable stitches and staples on top. Revision surgery recovery is very case specific. It will often take longer to recover. Sometimes patients are unable to fully weight bear. It really depends on what has to be revised. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and be safe.
Very informative.
Glad you liked it A. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great recommendations thanks
You are very welcome Sandy. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Most helpful I am deeply thankful I have had a hip replaceMENt on the left nine months ago and am in a home not mine NOw can I go to my flat on the third floor without a lift '?
Typically that would be ok. We instruct our patients to go up stairs slowly and the ability to go up stairs is one of our hospital's requirements for discharge. Thanks for the question.
Hi Dr. Zalzal, It's been just over 5 months now since my THR. The pain is gone from the ball and socket joint which you replaced which is awesome! I've been doing my exercises 3 times a day for the last 5 months. I was wondering why I'm still feeling tightness just under the incision still? Did you have to sew the 2 ligaments and the 4 rotator muscles back onto the head of the femur and that's why it's still feeling tight?
Doug Hart Hi Doug. Glad to hear you are doing well. The muscles are sewn back together but the main reason you still feel tight is regular post operative recovery. Soft tissues respond to the incision and surgery in a variable way. This will usually soften up over time but can take up to 2 years. Exercise and time is usually the answer. All the best and thanks for watching
I've been watching all of your videos my surgery for thr is Sept 12th. Unfortunately I have bilateral AVN in both of my hips. Getting my right one done 1st since it's the worst. I'm hoping to wait a while to get my left done it bothers me some but nothing absolutely Terrible. I'm hoping with medication and the rest it slows down the progression or goes away lol. Once thank you so much for doing these videos.
Very welcome Paul. Good luck in September. Thanks for watching and subscribing

That is great news Rachel. So happy for you. Best of luck. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Hi Doc’s thanks for your videos. With the literal or posterior approaches are there any lifetime restrictions or precautions.
Hi Murphy. The total hip precautions are usually for 6-12 weeks but patients with total hips should forever avoid extreme range of motion. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Do y’all have a video yet on what to do in preparation pre/post-op for hip labral repair?
No we do not but we can add it to the list for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing

I an scheduled for surgery in 2 days. When told I needed it and the date was set was the worst day of my life so far. I wasstuneduje I had walked into a brick wall. I was not here mentally for several days and y til I read the notes from my surgeon and the 40 page "After Visit Summary" my surgeon gave me I had begun to understand what to expect. Finding your Podcasts on U-tube helped me to understand what I read and the messages on a clinic podcast telling what to expect at my hospital and surgery day was more understandable after I listened to your podcasts. I am nervous but not scared like I was in the beginning. My worst fear is that something will happen to again postpone or cancel my surgery because I had a dental problem come up just 3 weeks before the first surgery date so my surgeon moved it up by 3 days to fit in the dental work 3 weeks before surgery and at my pre-surgeryphysical I had to take very strong antibiotics 4 times a day for a week to clear up a Urine Infection. I was surprised by the showering for 5 days before, nightly and then just before going in on surgery day. And the antibiotic I have to use to not carry an infection in my nasal cavity. So many precautions to be clear of infection and be safe for the surgery. I could have been floored by all the precautions but my 12 step group has helped immensely by giving me again the mental tools to cope with everything I need to do to be ready for the surgery. Sime of these precautions you have not said anything about in your podcasts but have covered many I was scared about so I could cope with the rest. I am still very nervous about the surgery but so much better than the scary fear I has at the first when I was given the first surgery date.
Flying, I was stuck in Philippines after my partial hip replacement, hard an motorbike accident there. I had 2 pillows made for me, one 5" and one 4" I sat on those in the wheelchair and on the plane ride at 7 weeks, wanted to get back to USA. Dometic flight was 2 hours in Philippines, and then I took international flight and got the seats that lay down, and flew from Manila to Seoul which was 5 hours, and then to USA which was 14 hours. I was careful and used a walker/wheelchair the whole trip
Wow Mike. What a journey. Hope you are ok. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs I am still on cruthes after 10 weeks, I saw my US othro 2 weeks ago when I got back to USA, and we are doing agressive PT. He did xray looks like the thing in my femur is too small, and the thing in my hip is too large. I had a partial hip replacement. After a few more weeks if don't get much improvement he will redo my surgery. I can't my right leg, same side as broken hig, or lift it very much. This is what happens when you get stuck in a 3rd world country, it hasn't been fun so far. Also they found a blood clot in my hip when I got back to USA, so I am on meds for that, they think the clot is older and not travel induced.
@@TalkingWithDocs Latest Update: Hardware failure from Philippines implant (imagine that). Got blood clots from knee to upper pelvis had surgery to remove those, and they put a filter near my heart to catch any clots, I did have small clot in my lung. Week after clot surgery I had my total hip replacment redone in the USA. 6 weeks later I am now using 2 canes down from walker/crutches.
thank you so much for your videos have being follow up with the ur video and its a great one, every one with total hip replacement should fellow up this videos.
A year ago, my mum had her right hip replaced but as at now the left hip which does not have any issue has started swollen and hurting her and can't walk again even with the walker. Please I need help. my mum is 66years of age.
Thanks
Hi David. Best advice is to get an X-ray and go from there. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
HI Doctors
Your UA-cam videos are outstanding.
So I am 63 years old, have osteorthritis throughout my body and Osteoporosis in my spine and hips.
I had three level ACDF surgery 1.5 years ago and because of the Osteoporosis they had to do "spine fusion" and not disc replacement which is the more modern approach to this.
I continue to get Prolia injections and have seen a little improvement in my hips.
I am having hip issues, trouble walking, pain in my thighs and hip xrays confirm "severe osteoarthritis" and a bone on bone situation. Both hips are bad.
I have always stayed in shape, exercise regularly and weigh 108 pounds.
I am wondering if due to Osteoporosis I am limited in the procedure type you could use similar to how I was limited in my ACDF back surgery?
I am also wondering if due to this, my recovery would be longer.
In addition, would there be any longer term limitations. After the ACDF back surgery, I now can't lift more than 8 pounds, I can no longer go on rides at Disney, go on small boats, swim without a face mask, etc.
I would appreciate your insights.
Thank you for the great educational service that you are providing for us.
