I am 1-1/2 years post-op. I am now starting to go up and down stairs the "normal" way. At times my leg still gets sore at the hip and down the front, usually after walking too much. It also depends on the surface and the weather. Too cold and it

hurts. I find concrete hurts. I still have to back into my car instead of putting my leg in first. It is my driving leg that was operated on. I hope eventually I will be able to put it in the way it should go in. But I agree, give it time. I was hopeless at three months. I thought I'd never drive again and look; I'm all over the place.

I had a THR in June of '05, and dealing with the muscle issues was probably more difficult for me than anything else. I went back to work full time 3 months after surgery, but I was still

contending with muscle pain and trying to get muscle strenght back up to par. Just give it time and keep exercising!Aimee >> My name is Germaine and I have had a THR on Jan. 9,2006.I am 40 years > old and just need some advise.
