I am 11 weeks out of hip replacement. Do I still have to use a reacher to pick up things from the floor? Can I now bend over to wash my legs and feet? About how long before I won't need to use a cane?

Hi hon: It ALL depends on the type of hip you were given! It also depends on your age, weight and timetable of recovery. EVERYONE is different. What I tell people is this, you try to do something IF you have ANY TWINGE AT ALL!!! You STOP! One day you will think, "I think I can reach for that myself, and voila! You can" It's as though your body knows before your brain! So DO NOT push it at all, take it nice and easy and like I said IF you twing - I'm not even talking pain or hurting - then STOP OK? Good luck and health/recovery!
