Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

All your symptoms after a Total hip replacement (THR) surgery will wane off slowly over a period of time.

Generally, majority of the patients who have undergone THR surgery will not experience any symptoms after 3 months of surgery .

So, you will get used to the new prosthetic joint in due course of time. Keep doing physiotherapy to strengthen your muscles around the hip joint and to increase the range of movement.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
