Has anyone had their hip replaced with other such existing problems?
Thank you,

Warm water therapy is using a heated pool for swimming, walking, & other such exercises. Ideally for hurting joints, the water temperature should be about 89 degrees. You might want to check out gyms, etc. in your area to see if any of them have such a pool. The pool I use is filled with members who suffer from aching joints & we all agree that this is by far the best therapy for us. One woman said that she was even able to ditch a back brace she wore after she started pool therapy.
Best wishes for greater mobility soon. Be patient.

I'm sounding like a broken record as I can't say enough about warm water therapy. Are you able to get to a gym with a heated pool?
Good luck,

5 weeks is not enough in which to recover completely from such major surgery. Are you undergoing rehab exercises? What does your doctor say about your progress?
It sounds as though you may be a bit impatient to get back to greater mobility. I have heard many more success stories concerning hip replacement than unsuccessful ones.
Are you able to use warm water therapy yet? I highly recommend this.
Good luck,

I highly recommend warm water pool therapy. I do this daily & it has greatly helped with pain & stiffness. Most in the pool suffer from osteoarthritis & all agree that it's the best medicine for the condition. One woman with oa of the spine was able to stop wearing a back brace that she'd worn for years after she started using the pool.
Good luck to you!
