Did you receive Physical Therapy after?

Cheers!
While my July 2024 hip replacement went great, what followed was somewhat of a struggle. I had a walker for 3 days, went to a cane for another 10. A month later everything was going great until extreme pain on the other side sent me to the ER. ER doc told me the other side was ****ed at my new hip side, as I had been walking with a limp for 10 years (one leg an inch short) and had to go back to rehab for that. Next my hip flexor on my new hip side was so weak I couldn't lift my leg from gas to brake pedal. Back to therapy for 2 months. All that said I'm glad I did it. I play golf and pickleball several times a week without pain. Good luck!
