Skiing with hip replacement

[Rednucleus]

I had my 1st formal strength/flexibility training yesterday after left (rear leg) THR Jan 3rd, so 9 wks post op. Was back at work in my vet clinic after 13 days and done with formal PT visits after 4 weeks. Very comfortable, pretty much pain free by 3 wks post op, but after yesterday I can see I have no business being on a ski yet!!  Really looking forward to twice a week training plus what I can do at home/work.  Seeing my new C85 patiently waiting for me helps me work harder!

PRO TIP: if your hip hurts and you need a replacement, get it done, don't be a dork like me and put it off for another year. Can't wait to be skiing pain free by June.

Being a member of the "geriatric generation skiers,"  I have several friends skiing with replaced hips with no issues at all!  Perhaps a few more months will help.....Keep Skiing!  Good Luck
