Total Hip Replacement
 
          

Marjorie, a 63 year-old woman from New Jersey:
Prior to surgery, I was in considerable pain and had numbness in my foot and leg.  My limp slowed me down, even with the use of a cane.  Two to three months after surgery, I was able to walk again, with no pain, no limp, and at full speed.  The 4-6 weeks after surgery were uncomfortable but tolerable.  The nursing care was very good and I felt confident in the skills of my doctor, the nurses, and the physical and occupational therapists.  I am now walking more and have returned to work, dancing, bike riding.  I no longer have to wonder where my cane is.
