Golf After Total Hip Replacement Surgery

[Crazyassgolfer]

Just wondering if anyone else is playing golf after two total hip replacements.

I had my left hip replaced in March the week before the world shut down with the Coronavirus. My rehab was cut short due to my concerns, but I tried to do my own rehab at home. After I was released by the doctor I got in about 8 rounds over the next couple months but as I new that I would need the right hip done as well 😢 the pain in the right side made it too tough to play so I haven't been playing for the last couple months. Good news is I am having the right side replaced this week and hope to rehab well and be back out on the course by the middle of February. I have been massaging my golfing Jones by spending lots of time on YouTube watching Classic Golf Tournaments and lots of the pros who have YouTube channels.

Hope everyone is staying healthy and playing lots of golf!

Only golfer I know with a double hip replacement went from a 12 to a 3 after the second replacement.  At 71 yrs old. I called him "Dad". I miss him, but he would have been 99 yrs old today.

Hopeful that you'll be good to go.  Watch this:

Thanks for sharing your story about "Dad" and the video about the martial arts instructor. I hope to be back as good as ever.

Well I had the surgery on Thursday and other than muscle tightness and some swelling I am quite pleased as the joint pain is gone. Twelve weeks of rehab and I should be good to go!

Really looking forward to the 2021 golf season as it will be the first time I will play PAIN FREE in almost 4 years.
