Hi,

I am a possible candidate for hip replacement. I will know more soon after my first visit to the doctor. I have been experiencing intense pain when I walk in my right hip for about 6 months now. I have started learning more about hip replacement in case that is what I have to do but I am concerned about my future doing bikram after recovery. I have heard you should never ever do any sort of hip flexion after replacement. Is this a real concern?

What other things should I worry about?

thanks,

L

Hello L

Quick questions so I can understand a little more of the circumstances: Do you already practise Bikram yoga? And if so, for how long, how frequently, and how experienced are you at it? And, do you practise at a studio or at home and if at a studio, is it a scripted class? If you are practising at the mo, is there anything about the practice that gives you relief in any way?

Phew. Haven’t answered your question yet but I promise I will. 😉

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
