POST-SURGERY INSTRUCTIONS? - Ep. 63

Hip Replacement Recovery: Discharge Instructions, Physical Therapy & What to Do After Hip Replacement Surgery Hip replacement recovery doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. In Episode 63 of The Hip Replacement Podcast, Chris pulls out the actual discharge instructions he received after hip replacement surgery and looks back at what they told him to do—and which recovery habits still matter more than a decade later. From physical therapy exercises, icing, compression stockings, pain medication, walkers and crutches to fall prevention, stairs, driving, and anterior hip replacement precautions, Chris walks through the basic hip replacement discharge instructions he was given before going home. He also shares how surprisingly alone and uncertain he felt once he left the hospital, even with family support. If you’re preparing for hip replacement surgery, in the first days or weeks of hip replacement recovery, or years into life with a hip replacement, this episode is a reminder that simple recovery instructions can still be useful long after surgery. Don’t ignore your hip replacement recovery instructions. Go back to one thing that helped you early in recovery and start there. ►► Download my Top 12 Tips for Hip Replacement Patients here ►Get my book, NEW STEEL here - available in hardcover, paperback, eBook and audio versions ►For more information, or to send a question or comment, visit The Hip Replacement Podcast website New hips.
