Your are right, the major problem is that my walking skills looks like a Ship in a Storm :D. But i think i walk better when i contract my butt muscles during walking to prevent telescoping. But to be honest my operation is 6 weeks ago, so iam at the beginning. It gets better every almost every day.

I dont have the issue of pain in the good leg. A very good trick to make your muscles stronger is the Crosstrainer in the gym. With a cane i walk much nicer.

But i think most of the trick to walk with a Girdlestone is in your mind. If you have a strong mind, you can do it. In most cases, there is no reason to seat in a wheelchar from medical view.

6 months out now after Girdlestone procedure. I agree your attitude has a LOT to do with how you manage.! I’m determined to garden this summer. Not pretty to watch me but I’m doing it!!!!
