This has been in the works for months. Finally got my hip replaced on Nov 20th. Post Op the Dr said my original hip was bone on bone. No wonder I was in so much pain. I have literally been going to court and coming home around noon just to lay on my couch for at least 6 weeks.
Right out of surgery I was in a lot of pain. They got that under control and I was home for dinner same day. This Dr group has a big building that houses everything; MRI, Xray, PT, exam rooms, and even Operating Rooms. It is crazy but sure beats going into a hospital and staying the night.
The old pain is now gone and now it is just discomfort and getting used to the new hardware.
