This is a no pain zone. If you feel ANY pain, stop.
I'm weight bearing more and more every day. I'm so glad to be off of 50%. I'm walking about a kilometre and a half every day according to my fitness tracker and my pace is only slightly slower than it was before surgery. I'd say it's similar to what it was last spring before I started prehab.
I've been walking around the house with either one crutch or none, but feel off balance because of my leg length difference. On the street, I'm trying to work my way to using my urban walking poles, so I still have support on both sides (replaced and upcoming)
I had physio on Thursday and they asked me why I waited a month post-op to start and told them my surgeon disallowed it for a month. I liked they said "This is a no pain zone. If you feel ANY pain, stop." In fact the whole session started with an ice pack on my hip for half an hour before starting anything. They're basically working with me to improve my leg strength ahead of the next surgery.
