At the beginning there was much pain, even with a Cane. I could not walk far distances and i needed much pain medication. But in a few month the pain disapeard and finally i put away my cane. Your Body can compensate the missing hip joint very good, if you work for it every day. But for all this effort you get a nearly normal life back. I live in the 4th floor and i still have no elevator.

I am so impressed by your journey.
You must be a fighter like myself. I made up my mind that I would research the possibility of walking without a walker snd there you were! How though is it possible that you didn't damage whatever is left in hip area, and my right leg is about 4 inches shorter so I would need an orthotic. Where do I get it and is it covered? I have medicare.
