Will I be able to use a shovel and dig new ground? How much pressure can someone with a hip replacement put on ti? Is it just like new?
God bless you all.

After therapy, you’ll be as good as new.

These are questions you need to discuss with your doctor.

You could but be very careful. You don’t want to re-injure your new hip.

My dad had hip replacement surgeryand after awhile was back to his gardening best wishes.

You should be able to do things you always did (only without pain). Recovery takes several weeks, so give yourself time to heal completely…then begin slowly getting back to your gardening. Godspeed

when you heal you will be as good as new but make sure you do your physical tharepy. ok?

you can you cant put all that much pressure on it when you first get it, but over time you should be able to do everything you did before I would talk to your doctor aboutit though just to be sure he would know your restrictiond better than anyone here would.
