If NHS is anything like we in the US of A, they'll likely advocate steroid injections after Nsaids fail and before going to surgery. Screw that! You can't have surgery within 90 days of immune depressing steroids and, at least in my case, the wonderful balm of the injection lasted 45 days for the right hip with another 45 days of hell and just 10 for the current, left hip.
Dante had no idea.
As for physiotherapy, at least around here, it's a bunch of judgmental kids in spandex. I did a lap of the proprty with my walker hourly for two weeks then began, as soon as I could get a leg over (I know, I know) my bike rode the nearby park level trails. At 6 weeks I was back to climbing and bombing the woodland trails.
Finally and most important, insist on the Anterior approach to the joint. Posterior incision patients without exception are still suffering at 6 weeks; I met plenty. The day after my surgery I went home and right up the stairs to have a shower and never looked back. Anterior! There's some concern about a major nerve in the way from the front but my Johns Hopkins/Duke trained surgeon has done hundreds of surgeries no problem.
Get it done and good luck.

Thank you for education us as you have often done in the past.
Thanks for the advice. Frankly I am going to put the operation off for as long as I can (permanently?) as currently the hip is only causing me intermittent difficulties. My last two encounters with orthopaedic surgeons have left me sceptical (that is being polite about it).

When I did my year at Oxford with faculty and some curriculum from my own college, our resident college was St. Anne's. Everywhere we went we were met with laughter when asked, "what college?". Turned out, as you may know, St. Anne's was regarded, justifiably, as a finishing school for Posh Girls.
Some of us, myself included, got the last laugh as we met and made "close" friends of rich girls. Mine drove a Rolls Royce bodied Mini and had a Harley Street surgeon father who flew to France each week with Brit patients to perform surgeries away from the eyes of NHS and Inland Revenue.

Nice reminiscence. There's just something about rich girls...oh yes, money!

B Scarpia, I'm surprised by your negative impression of physical therapy. I did physical therapy after knee surgery and found it to be very efficacious.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
My own experience with a posterior incision hip replacement is as you described, requiring some four months of rehab to gain enough strength and coordination to leave the cane at home most days. My replacement was after an accident so I had no idea about the anterior procedure alternative. I was under the influence of some very heavy drugs from just after the accident until I left the hospital four days later. Tomorrow will be the three year anniversary of the accident.
Once was enough.
