      As a physiotherapist and Camino addict I stand firm in my opinion. One joint replacement ok, maybe even 2 but 4? It takes lots of work to get this far.

      I don't want to be too much of a curmudgeon, but it would be unimpressive if I couldn't do this. One doesn't undergo surgery of this magnitude and complexity and the subsequent rehabilitation to not get back to a more active life.

      I am about 5ft 10 inches and weight about 9 stone 10 lbs. My consultant said do whatever you want to do. As he said, he has these replacements in people that weigh far more and are doing heavy lifting jobs with no problems.

      That is quite impressive - both knees and both hips and still walking Caminos! This one hip replacement hopefully will be the only one needed. I had what they call secondary osteoarthritis due to a pelvic fracture (socket part hip joint) I had...

      Interesting that you may still run. My orthopedic surgeon said due to the high impact (I'm not overweight) running and trampoline springing were the only activities I shouldn't do post-op.

      I walked the Norte immediately before I had my hip replaced (had a few pain killers each day!!) so I was very fit before the operation. I then did my next longish walk in UK about 7m after the op and played golf from 3m after the op. Walked...

      Thanks Jen. I appreciate you taking the time to reply, it is helpful to hear from others who have done the Camino after replacement. I am in relatively good condition aside from the hip so I hope that will help in recovery so I can get back on...

      Hi Dres I walked the full Camino Francis in fall 2023. My hip replacement was 2019 and then Covid hit so I missed out on some physio which extended my recovery. Prior to my hip replacement at 60yrs - my hip was so bad I was walking using a...

      Wow! Thanks everybody for the advice and encouragement. I am sure it will go well but needed a little reassurance. Buen Camino.
