Did you have a more sedentary job? I have a desk job and a standup desk which I hope would be helpful. Did you have a phased in RTW or did you go back full time after 3 weeks?

I was the manager in a busy tech office, so much of my day involved moving about dealing with staff. I used crutches to ease the strain on my new hip and had a phased return- work from home weeks 2& 3 about 20 hours a week then 3 & 4 days 2 weeks each. I'm older and wiser now and would recommend giving yourself more time to heal if you can possibly manage.
I brought my cryo-cuff and iced for 20 minutes every 2 hours with legs up.
