Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 none are fun.....when it is yourself experiencing it........BARB in Florida Re: [Norton AntiSpam] 2 WEEKS LEFT Any hip replacement is much easier to recover from than any knee replacement For most people, there is almost no pain after a hip replacement - there is surgical discomfort but the joint itself is pain free. Recovery from knee surgery is much harder and more painful. Anterior hip replacement does provide a much easier recovery than the traditional posterior approach. That's because there are virtually no restrictions after surgery and since no muscles are cut, one is ahead of the game so to speak in terms of getting back to full mobility. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
