Since it is a major surgery, you will want to take it easy the first few weeks, depending on the seriousness of your condition. People generally take from 1 month to 6 months before they can really go out and start an active social life.
The recovery for a patient with hip replacement surgery happens in stages. First, he has to get out of the hospital, he will have to learn to walk slowly with his walker, he will have to get rid of the painkillers, then all the medications he had had to consume and finally, he has to walk around the house (or two blocks) without resting or getting tired. This usually happens within 2 months. During the 2-6 month period, he will have to wait until his surgical wounds and internal tissues heal. Once that he is over, he can go out on his own, no more walkers, no more medicines and best of all – no more pain.
