Going in next week for  a right hip joint replacement.  It's bone on bone and has been giving me a lot of pain all winter.  I have surgery April 6th.  Doctor says he thinks I can play golf in a month.  Has anyone had hip joint replacement? I'm hoping he is right.. First week of May my league starts.  A month sounds a little early.  I'm 69 and in good shape.  Exercised daily at the Y until 2 months ago.  Pain was to much at that time.

I had a full hip replacement in Feb 2019.

my doctor wanted 90 days.  Putting or short chips were OK after 4-6 weeks but no full swings.  
 

i understand the pain, in Oct. 2018 I could not swing well enough to clear a small pond on a par-3 with my driver and getting out of a car was hard.

@Larrh7, I’d agree with @StuM; certainly poss at one month, but smarter to wait til 3 months before full, uninhibited swings. If it’s a posterior approach, the capsule is at risk for allowing the hip to dislocate for quite some time;  I’ve seen hips dislocate a year out from surgery…but the fact it’s your right hip is far better than your left (assuming you play right-handed). If it’s an anterior approach, less worries. Either way, hopefully, your hip is for the rest of your life, let it heal…a few months off from golf will make you all the more hungry :-) 

I’d have you work on chipping & putting for 6-8 weeks before getting too eager. Just my two cents…

Thanks for the reply. I'll see how I feel and follow doctors advice.  If I do get out in 5 or 6 weeks I'll just take it easy.  Should be able to start Chipping and putting in 3-4 weeks I've been told by guys I know that have had it.

So how's it going? I've been dormant on this forum for a while, but I'm a few days out from right THR and wondering about your experience so far.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
