I have had both hips replaced couple years apart, but both done threw side?? Had them do nerve block not knock me all way out, Was up and walking on them same day. Doc said was more about how doctor learned to do them than any difference in recovery time. People in PT said same thing more about how you can move and what you do don't do. Recovery time is same either way..So that is what I know about that. I have been one of the lucky ones that has zero pain since surgery. I'm a long ways from ever running again. But that is whole different issue.. Good luck to you.. if you are hurting as bad as I was you maybe amazed when it's over and done.

I had both done at the same time and was the anterior I believe, it's the one where you don't have as many problems with the new hip popping out if you make the wrong movement or exercise before it's healed up.My surgery went well, was up right out of recovery (forced,lol) and was doing PT the next day, Do the PT, it seems easy if your in any shape at all but do it. They say you can't drive for 4-6 weeks, but at 4 you should be good if your off the pain meds. My jailor made me wait till the 6 week check, I asked the doc if there was anything I couldn't do, and he said nope, just don't do anything too stupid...
I only took the pain meds for a couple days, YMMV, but don't try to live with any pain.

I had a total hip replacement with a lateral approach 5 weeks ago this coming Monday im getting around better than before surgery .I walked over a half mile Thursday with a half bucket of feed . That thigh was tired but not sore .So much better than before . I know this dosnt answer your question about anterior approach but I'm excited at the progress of my recovery and hope you have the same speedy recovery

My wife put off hip replacement and put it off. Finally, when she couldn't take the pain anymore, she had it done. Now, she's kicking herself for putting up with all the needless suffering. She said she should have done it sooner. She said her hip felt better post surgery than it did prior to the surgery. The incision was sore for a couple of days. She stopped using a cane after 5 days. Good luck, prayers for you.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Mom just had hers done six weeks ago. She's already off the cane/walker and moving on her own for the most part. Says she doesn't knwo why she waited so long. Biggest thing for her was she spent 3 months getting ready for it by doing light workouts and then was mentally driven to get moving again as fast as possible because she missed working in the garden.

Isn't that the truth? My wife said the same thing, she didn't know why she waited so long? Glad to hear your mom is doing so well.
