yoga after hip replacement

[Guest guest]

I have had both hips replaced. One was 3 1/2 years ago and the other was 20

months ago. I have had no problems and have been going to the gym right along.

Recently I added yoga and some stretch classes and one of my hips is really

hurting. It has that achey, arthritis feel that it had before the surgery but I

am able to walk ok. It is bad enough to wake me up at night. Does anyone know

if yoga can cause problems for a replaced joint or am I just using muscles that

haven't been used? Only one side hurts, the newer hip.

Thanks.
