This is one thing I'm concerned about with H--the overdoing it too soon. I mean, he ran a marathon a few years ago on an injury (the opposite hip--well, groin really, I forget the name of the actual muscle or whatever it was). He said with PT, he'd start that 2 weeks after surgery for basic range-of-motion sort of stuff, then at 6 weeks would start on the elliptical (in PT, not on his own) to work his way back to things like running.
