I had a total hip replacement in 1998 at 39 years of age. For a decade I was in terrible pain, getting to a standing position often took 15 minutes. I had to have bone graphs during the procedure so my recovery took a while. Couldn't put weight on it for 90 days, after a year I was fully recovered. I felt so good I went back to my work and over did it for 10 years, long enough I had to find a less physical job. The replacement gave me back my life, the CB is joy to ride even with the replacement. I've had it now going on 16 years, I'm taking it a bit easier these days to delay the revision. Do the therapy, follow their advice, and take care of how you treat yourself.
