Hello,
Depends on the surgery, age, health, etc. If at your age you are having a hip arthroscopy, you are talking 6-12 weeks at least depending on what is done, your health, weight, etc. For a hip replacement, which you are young for, you are talking 3-5 months. I had my hip replaced last year (I am older) and took at least 3 months before I felt normal. However, pain was relieved very quickly. Discuss with your physician.
Good luck!

With physical therapy minimum of 4-12 weeks.
