Anyone out there in USMS/Board world had a total hip replacment or hip resurfacing? If so, here are my questions:
1. How long until you were back in the water training?
2. How long until you were back in the water racing (pool and/or open water)?
3. How long until you could do flip turns and push hard off the wall?
4. How long until you were biking?
5. How long until you felt "normal?"
6. What is your experience re range of motion post surgery?
thanks

When the pain first started the doctor was very gung ho about doing something. Then when cyst was found on my L1 vertabra, he cooled down a lot. My hip is a constant pain. Right now not so bad. Suday, I could barely walk. The on-call doctor told me to either go to the ER or take aspirin or Tylenol. I couldn't get to my car to go to the ER.
I'm waiting for the PA to return my call. Wheni swim is the only time my hip doesn't hurt but afterwards it does.
