Home recovery for a week or so will include limited walking, bending or reaching. Simple modifications such as handrails and raised toilet seats may be necessary. Take care to follow all your doctor”s instructions. Within six to eight weeks you will be released to go about your normal duties; with some limitations.

Physical therapists suggest swimming as an awesome exercise to keep your hip flexible and prevent stiffening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
