Ask your surgeon if physical therapy could help you. A physical therapist can teach you specific exercises that will strengthen specific muscles, thereby making movement of a limb far less painful.

I did leave a message for my surgeon. I didn't get a reply. Apparently, he is so focused on operating that he is seldom in the office. I was also told by a friend that he may be afraid to suggest physio because if there are problems, he could be sued! I've asked my family doctor and acupuncturist (who has had the same operation) and the answer is "no" at this time.
