How long after healing from a complete hip replacement did it take to be able to sit fully cross legged again?
What positions or movements were you never able to do again?
Are you glad you went through it or do you regret it?
Do you have any tips to share with those of us facing a hip replacement?
Thanks π¬π€π¬π€
PS: I didn't ever have arthritis until after getting fibro and the arthritis is like a fast rolling snowball, it keeps accelerating and expanding. Can anyone relate?

My sister had both hips replaced and she was given so much pain relief that she barely took any pain medication. She doesn't have fibro and now needs her knees replaced. She is so happy wiith her hips she is looking forward to getting her knees done.
Widespread osteo arthritis. Already had one total knee replacement surgery and now having the other done. Horrible back issues and need multiple levels fused. Not ready for that big surgery. I think if you have one back surgery you will have several more.
if it's osteoarthrirtis it meansyou are still wearing out your joints,the Paleo diet is supposed to help too. if it's Rheumatiod arthritis go on diet for 3wks see if that helps
I can relate to that ...my arthritis seems to be getting worse at a faster rate ..i didnt have it until fibro either ...its destroying my life .
It has been 6 months and she still hasn't crossed her legs. Finds no reason to do it and therefore doesn't do it.
