Don't know if you are talking to me. I had a spacer put in 12/03/20. I'm using a walker and crutches but slowly transitioning to a cane and also have a 2 1/2 inch deficit therefore I'm using a lift to compensate. I'm pain free after surgery except for the muscle pain from exercising atrophied muscles. I'm hoping this continues with the pain decreasing. I don't know yet bcuz it's too early post op.
