If you can afford it or if your insurance company will pay for a rollator walker you may want to consider one. This will help keep some of the pressure off the hips. Also since you walk so much, the rollator allows you to get around more quickly and with a basket you can have somewhere for the groceries. Just a thought. Don’t be afraid, I don’t have a right hip and I get around pretty good with my rollator and cane. If you want to talk to me, just let me know and I will be glad to call you
