Ask your doctor: I posit you'll be able to do many of the same activities you did before the hip surgery, if not more since you are not in pain, i hope.  But you should always ask your surgeon before doing anything to make sure your body and procedure heal so you avoid complications.

Question 3

THA revision: Speak with your operative hip surgeon and take their recommendation to have revision done by someone well-versed in revision work--it may or may not be the primary surgeon, depending upon surgeon experience in this, as well as operating room specialty equipment and instruments available.

Question 5

which kind of exercise can a person do who had a hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

Swimming: Swimming is ideal; low impact, cardio and resistance rolled into one!

Question 6

what exercises/workouts should be done to prepare for hip replacement surgery?

Accepted Answer

What you need is to-: -have strong ABductors of the hip as well as stretching the flexors and extensors of the hip. This is not something you can do in a short time. A proper exercise routine must be set up for your needs &amp; abilities, &amp; it takes months to do this. If your surgery is soon, nothing will make this happen rapidly.

Question 7

why is my artificial hip painful when i sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Hip pain with sneeze: "hip pain" caused by sneezing might represent a lumbar disc problem.The increase in pressure cause by the sneeze can affect nerves near the lumbar discs. This is called "referred pain" . 
 
The other possibility is a groin hernia. Again,  the increased pressure in the belly from the sneeze causes the hernia to bulge and cause pain.

See a PT: There are numerous ways in which you can condition and slim down around your hips.  General aerobic exercise and muscle strengthening of the hip and buttock muscles is key. A physical therapist or athletic trainer can help you establish a dedicated home exercise program that you can do at home without any equipment.

Question 9

how should i find the best orthopaedic surgeons (hip replacement) in a particular region?

Accepted Answer

Ask around: Depends on what you mean by best 

when you do pick one out go in for a "test drive" with the doc and see how you get along   this will tell you a lot.
