A member asked:
How long does it take to sit for an 8 hour shift after a total hip replacement? at 4 weeks post op i can only sit upright with a pillow for 2 hours.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is variable but: generally by 4 months post-op you should be comfortable sitting for that long. Don't forget that a total hip replacement is a major surgery with a major piece of hardware.
