Can walking be accomplished without a hip or hip replacement?

I am currently "learning" to walk with a cane. The turning point for me was to have my leg remeasured on a hunch. Sure enough my leg was actually longer by 1 1/2" than what the measurement was when I was in rehab! So I had the shoe lift adjusted accordingly. That made a big difference and I do not have any pain when
walking with the cane. So week 3 using the cane with my new shoe, I feel that with a lot of practice, I will be able to perfect my stride using the cane! Fingers crossed!

Yeah but would you feel comfortable going to big social events like that? Like concerts…conventions etc…I currently use a wheelchair for big events like that and I use a Walker for at home
