Thanks for the insights here Sue. I had my right hip replaced last year and did my PT at home. But we all recover differently.

The idea of changing shoes is excellent. I know I limped for a long time before surgery due to pain in my groin. This may help twin52.

And shame on anyone who criticizes a person for using a crutch. I trust twin52 to know what is good for him/her.

Anyway, I do think twin52 would benefit from an assessment by a new PT. Great advice.
