I am living without a left hip a little over 2 years. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this at such a young age. I'm 72 and get around on 2 crutches, sometimes only one crutch for short distances, also use a walker and wheelchair at times. I agree it is so life altering! The only real exercise I can do now is exercise bike, which I do daily, but I sure miss not hiking and really walking! May I ask how you get around? Wishing you all the best! Cindy

Hi Cindy, I get around on 1 crutch around the house and to walk a short distance but it leaves me physically exchausted if I was to walk round tesco on the 1 crutch, if was out with my partner for a walk or shops I use the 2 crutches.. I manage but can get yeah down not been as independent as I would have been..
