I am 9 weeks PO too and can barely walk through Publix and Earthfare. I am still on cane because my leg feels like a wooden peg and I can't seem to get my gait back. Don't mean to hijack the post but any tips on how to get your gait back and walk better? My PT just has me walk around the room and reminds me to bend my knee in an unnatural way. Did you have a good gait immediately? I'm so confused about not having the ability to walk normally.

@dkapustin My gait was not good immediately, but I think it's pretty good now. I asked my husband that question last night, if I was walking normally or limping or anything and he said no. Of course, maybe he was just trying to make me feel better, but I do not feel like I am limping or anything.

My gait wasn’t bad but walking in stores is hard- those floors! I walk as much as I can without the cane. I try to remember heel-toe-heel-toe when I walk. Just walk like nothing happened- or mentally picture that if you can. Try not to “favor” it. That’s my best advice. It will come back with time. Don’t think about it if you can. Good luck!!!
