I have osteoarthritis in both hips.First diagnosed 4 years ago.Had another x ray in February,my GP said it was the worst he had seen, cartilage completly gone on both and cysts forming on both,As I was overweight I could not be referred.I have now lost over 2 stone,still waiting for appointment,Have had to go for physio for weeks apparently to strengthen muscle ready for operation,It is down as routine,my GP and physiotherapist at the hospital I will be having it done have both tried to get it down as urgent.Could cry sometimes with the pain.

I had my first one done 5 months ago and I am only 46. It took one appointment with a student physio that got mine sorted. I have been under my rheumatologist for 26 years and my hip ball joints have been eroding into my pelvis. I had extreme pain every single day but I was still walking and driving. I have a really strong pain threshold so I coped because I had done. My rheumatologist called me the next morning and first off apologised to me because he had never picked up on how severe I was. He told me that I was being put on the emergency list and it has been life changing for me. I didn’t even have an mri for mine, just one x-Ray. I have severe osteoarthritis in my hips, spine and knees as I’ve had my issues for my entire life. My surgeon was amazing and got me in so quick and then I had to hug him when I saw him last week. I am now going to skip into the theatre this time. I’ve had well over 40 steroid injections in my lifetime and my last one was 6 days ago. I feel so much better and even my whole attitude has changed. I smile now and don’t cry every day no more. I am hoping to get mine done so quickly but I’ve got to wait at least 5 weeks because of my biologic treatment wears off. That was by far the worst part when all my medication had to stop but I know what to expect now so it won’t be so bad this time. I was also in and out of hospital in less than 2 days which shocked everyone, and I did my exercises and now I’ve got to start doing my exercises again and I can’t wait, but my mile stone was being able to swim last week for the first time in over 7 months so I cannot wait for my next one!!. Bring it on!!. Can I just add that I attend Cannock hospital and they are amazing at what they do for people who are similar to me. Since first going there 26 years ago my life has changed so much for the better. I know all the staff there and don’t even have to give them my name now when I go to the reception desks lol😂. I wish I could give back so much but when I go back for my next biologic treatment I am going to take all of the girls some chocolate who look after me there. Cannock hospital is amazing and I call it my second home now lol x

I am almost 2 weeks in and praise God in the name our Lord Jesus, I have been able to execute these exercises you have mentioned. Thank you for the video. It was a blessing and a great help.

Thank your channel and this video is so underated. I have been breathing early because I was told you can never breath too early. But it mean i was forcing my rotation through the breath and causing my back to arch and then back legs to drop before the next kick which is even worst as I do a 2 beat. Correcting now but also taking a bit to be more patient, certainly will try your drills.

Basically just keep peddling and do not give up.

Will Shelley be getting Royalties from her ball joint photos ??? : )

Fantastic info, if im honest i thought that you were walking very well! Im having left hip replaced in 3 weeks time but daly need right one done too!

I just had my hip replacement done a month ago if anybody wants to ask me questions feel free

Hi Miss Shelly thank you very much for this video I'm going in for my hip surgery October 1st which is also my birthday. I'm also a ballroom dancer and I love to walk on the treadmill and I would like to run laps in the gym I'm just hoping that I'm not going to have any more pains or anything and I love to swim and if you really want to laugh a lot of times I practice my dancing in the shallow end of the pool I'm a huge fan of bicycling I'm just looking forward to doing everything that I did before that's all again thank you I look forward to other videos❤

Clever analysis. Thank you for your work and good piece of advice 👍🏻

I dont feel better after 10th weeks of hip replacement It hurts when waljing and sutting diwn sbd coming up. Im depressed with that 😢

Could someone address OSSIO-INTEGRATION?

So much confusion over this.

I disagree on the ankle attachment restricting rotation. Have you actually tried it? Sometimes I feel like i rotate too much with it... Can kick some, but I'm sure the waist type is better for that. But for just pulling? Like my cheap Amazon straps. Also can use them for dryland stroke training too.

It will be a year this month since my second hip replacement. Feel like new!,

This video from 4yrs ago.How are you now?

❤

Hi, I hope you're well. I want a video to be analysed.

Mighty bright and cheerful mate😇 you've made me feel so much confident

I’m terrified I have surgery on September 16, 2024 will let you know how it goes Thanks to everyone leaving their surgery experiences.

Joanne Jackson is certainly one of the fastest female swimmers

This has been a fascinating series of videos and I only wish I had seen it before my operation. I had been suffering from hip pain for about a year and finally got to see a specialist. After an X-ray and an MRI, she recommended a cortisone injection. Since this did not work, we moved on to a hyaluronic injection. This didn't work either and by now I was getting desperate so I asked my wife (who is a nurse at a large university hospital) if she could find me another specialist. He suggested trying stem-cell technology. This involves drawing blood, certrifuging it to extract the platelets and then reinjecting these into the hip joint. Sadly, this did not work either so he suggested a total hip replacement. I spoke to several friends who I knew had had the operation and everybody was very positive so I signed up for it. I was scheduled for the operation in early December of 2023. I had all the usual pre-op tests and was operated on from the side using an epidural as anaesthetic. The surgeon said the operation had been a success and that I had not lost much blood during the process. However, I subsequently developed an internal haemorrhage and my haemoglobin levels dropped from 15 to 7 so I had to have a transfusion of two bags of blood and a course of iron tablets. This, coupled with the fact that I was not used to sleeping on my back, kept me in hospital for a week and so my recovery got off to a slow start. However, I was determined to get moving as quickly as possible and by Christmas had progressed from a walker to two crutches. However, my surgeon said that physiotherapy was not necessary and that I would recover just by walking. I saw him again at the end of January 2024 and he suggested that I drop one of the crutches but still said I did not need physio. By then the pain from the operation had subsided but there was stiffness and weakness in the joint and although I could move around with the help of a crutch, I limped badly when I tried to walk without one. This went on for several months until I spoke to a friend who had had a THR and he said physio was fundamental and recommended a good physio who I started to see in June. Needless to say, things have improved dramatically, and whilst I still have some stiffness and weakness in the joint, I can walk, drive and ride a bicycle more or less OK. I can't help feeling the I was given bad advice by the surgeon on the importance of physiotherapy and would be in a much better place now if I had started physio immediately after the operation.

Just had 6th hip surgery,end of june ,still in pain .still using my walker ,dr had to break my femur because it wasn't as loose as he thought ,so its gonna take a ling time to recover I only had 1 successful surgery out of 6 .😢 I suffered 2 blood clots to my lungs that i had when discharged from hospital that i didn't know niether did the hospital,they did a chest xray before leaving hospital said everything looks good,they were wrong .😢😢 A day after discharged i went to a hospital and they fiund the clots ,i am very thankful to be alive .

Fantastic videos - Your one about which muscles are used in swimming is my 'go-to' video. Please keep them coming! It would be great to have one about keeping a flat scapular plane

my ortho should've don't my hip replacement months ago now I'm bed confined omg I'm in so much pain .

Thanks so much for suggesting a chest harness and front facing snorkel - to make it easier to get started - otherwise, I would have hated it from the start - but I love it. If you know of any watches to track tethered swimming, I'd be in heaven.

I love your swim tether video - do you know what watch or app will track tethered swimming?

I have watched so many videos since my surgery which was on Aug 1st. 2024. This has been the most relatable. Thank you

I having left hip replacement August 20 2024 I walking on my head for 54 years I got hit by a car when I was 4 years old I'm 58 having robotic hip surgery I'll be glad to get back with you with the new hip dance join my new hit dance class I will keep you informed on the great success and I love to dance hey Madonna let's go

I feel fatigue in my triceps and feel tired after 50 and unable to swim continuous for long distance. After some rest I continue 50m laps but difficult to continue for longer. I do catch up, zipper, kicking on chest back and sides drills to improve my technique. Can you give your expert opinion on this?

I preferred not seeing my own

At Age 59 with both hipjoints replaced , It Is a pity i can no longer play my favorite sport tennis.

Andy Murray had a hip resurfacing not a hip replacement so your comment is misleading. Resurfacing allows a return to fill sporting activity.

pie-hole king award.

So excited I’ve found you I’m looking like I’m up for a hip replacement and ligament repair, thanks Shelley for your wise words Thank you coach for your speed up drills

It’s too bad that the Alpha fins have been discontinued and no longer available.

float with a sail to get to land would that work ...double barrel float u shaped or how ...and for sport...or flat shaped , sail pole up by neck if lying on it or two poles two sails or hm or one up in front of head , or sail on strings but thats kinda hard and cant go against wind. or floats for sail on string in front of swimmer that hold s it or tied to belt. ji

I’m #2 😖

I had a hip replacement on March 13, after 7 wks, I dislocated twice, 4 days apart. It was horrible!!! My surgeon said he had the ball at the wrong angle so, I then needed a revision which I had May 21st. This has been a horrible experience all the way around. The pain has been brutal and progress, like molasses. They said it would go like this unfortunately. I’ve had a therapist once a week here for 3 weeks. She’s had me doing PT but even though I’m 5-6 weeks post op, my therapy’s more of this two week in progress. The therapist is done now and I’m on my own looking forward to what PT I should continue with and how many reps etc. I’m doing the ones in this video now actually but, I don’t know when to move on exactly?? Depending on my pain level I guess???? Thank you for this video and ANY ADVICE you may have! I really appreciate it!!!!!

How to breathe? Suck with mouth and blow air with nose?

Katie Ledecky has a bit of a lopp, but barely puts power in her kick.

Great video, love the maths! i love how every endurance athlete ever thinks they can raise their ftp and reduce their weight at the same time 😂

Thanks for being direct and to the point. Not a lot of yapping

How about if I try to put my arm in the water so that it creates a thousand toroidal vortices as though it were a stream tube. What then if I stretch those toroidal vortices laterally creaating first one leading edge vortex and then shear away to another? Would that create that hole in the water?

. I have never heard of a US surgeon allowing swimming in three weeks. Super misleading.

Muchas gracias! Excelente contenido .)

I think the idea that a revision ( 2nd replacement) of a hip is just a 3 month interruption is misguided. Revisions require longer prosthetics which tend to be less stable long term, so at that stage running is very unlikely as are other sporting activities, so management of a replaced hip to extend its life are important.

It would help if you stated the time of hip surgery anterior or posterior

Hi Coach. I like lapswimming. I swim 1 km in about 28-30 minutes. Why can’t I get faster? Is it mostly technique that limits me or muscle power that affects more do you think based on your experience?

I'm in week 4 of my right hip replacement is ok, however my left hip needs to be replaced, hurts like hell. Makes it very ery difficult to walk . Back to square one
