Hello,

Most people do not experience any major issues with adequate physical therapy and strengthening exercises following hip replacement.

However, recovery time, level of pain and complications vary on an individual basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
