Is feeling fatigued common after total hip replacement surgery on one hip?

Very common: Following hip or knee replacement fatigue is common. The body is mobilizing all its nutritional resources to heal the surgical site and often patients are anemic ( low blod counts) due to blood loss from surgery. Coupled with the psychological stress of a major operation it is common for patients to feel fatigued. It is important to get adequate sleep and rest. Fatigue usually resolves in 6-8 wks.

Yes: It takes a lot of energy to heal after surgery. The feeling should subside after one to two months.
