When can you play golf after hip surgery?

[@BRIANFAIRBROTHER]

Total left hip replacement at age 68. I was playing competition golf after 10 weeks off our back tees. Obviously walking the course which is 6500yds. Got back to 9 index at age 70.

Excellent! Great to hear that you’ve done so well.

I had knee replacement surgery last october, and right hip replacement surgery two weeks ago looking to getting back to playing bowls within 3 months and hopefully some golf next year im 66

Sounds like a good plan. I recommend having some physio before you get back to sports. Core stability and upper body strength are often neglected after surgery so it’s important to include exercises to improve these. Hope it goes well!

Excellent information!

Thanks Carol! It's a tough game to master!

I fractured my hip and lower back in two Places about 3.5 months ago after a mountain bike accident, luckily it was just enough to not require surgery... Ive been walking without crutches for about 2 weeks now and i was hoping to get back up the range working on at least my wedge game to ease back in, but i still get a bit of pain on the left hip, and my left leg feels week..Its more of a dull pain than a sharp one. Should i continue to rest and do my hip exercises a while longer to build up the strenght again before going to the range? Ive broken my back twice before so i know what to do with that, but this is the first time ive done my hip and i dont want to rush back and cause more problems in the future.. Im only in my 40s and admit i have abused my body over the years breaking/ dislocating everything at least twice and im starting to feel it now. Also when is it safe for me to visit my chiropractor again as i need a lot of adjustments.

Difficult for me to say without doing an assessment and knowing the details of the injuries. Best to discuss this with your surgeon TBH.

Interesting Jeremy I am 6 months out from op feels great.been getting a bit of gron pain on my other side acking dull pain not bad just on and off but feel good .goldfinger must be the best bond although I do like rodger more in the silly later ones he did a view to a kill.he just makes me laugh with silly one liners. A bit like u do .hope your well old m8.

Good to hear from you Lee. Goldfinger was one of the best, although I think You Only Live Twice and Diamonds are Forever are up there. Roger Moore was best in Live and Let Die I think. It's a shame Daniel Craig has left. He brought back a hard edge to Bond which I enjoyed. I hope the other hip settles down and that you are enjoying the good weather!
