I had hip replacement. During physical therapy I learned how to use a cane properly. You mentioned getting a cane. For it to help you, please learn how to use it correctly.

Extremely important and good advice.
I actually purchased mine from a craftsman who made them from solid wood, Sold them at craft fairs.
He was careful to measure my stance & show me how to walk with it properly.
I get frustrated when I see folks struggling to walk with their cane, which is supposed to be helpful not burdensome.
