Question
I had a left hip revision March 16, 2009. I was wondering if my gluteal muscle will ever look like my right side? It's weak and doesn't seem as strong as the right side. I am starting some extra physical therapy this week. Since you've had revisions I thought you could answer this for me.Thank You.

With each revision I had, there were little differences in the muscles my hips.  Excercise will help restore the muscles and in some cases people cannot even feel that they had a replacement.

You are doing the right thing in looking into physical therapy.  See if your insurance will also pay partial membership to a gym where you can also continue your therapy when that part of your recovery is over.
