Have you talked to your doctor about a shoe with a lift? You may find that it would really help you. Having one helps me to stand even preventing back pain, plus allows me to walk with a cane. I can even move around the kitchen and house some even without a cane although I end up with some leg pain on the good leg when I over work it. Although you probably will never walk like you use to things can hopefully get better....by the way, I even go to the gym and walk on the treadmill to help uild my muscles. Have to hold on but it helps. Good luck

Question How soon did you get a shoe lift. Its been 7 weeks since my surgery. I can put weight on the hip (not all my weight but some without pain)
