How You Will Feel after the Hip Replacement Surgery:
You will be given strong painkillers to help relieve any discomfort as the anaesthetic you were given during the operation wears off. If you have had an epidural anaesthetic (ie not general anaesthetic), you will not be able to feel or move your legs for several hours after your operation. Some people may want to be given something to help them sleep during this phase.

Special pillows may be placed between your legs to keep the new joint still and stable and help prevent dislocation.

A couple of days after your operation, a physiotherapist will visit you every day to help you do exercises intended to promote recovery.

Patients generally stay in hospital for around 5 days but you may need to stay for up to 10 days depending on your age or condition. After this, you will be able to walk with sticks or crutches.

Before you are discharged, your nurse will give you advice about looking after your stitches, hygiene and bathing.
