I had my surgery on December 17, 2008. Now six weeks later I still feel pain when I walk without my cane (which causes me to limp). Though I am experiencing 100% less pain when sitting, than I did before surgery. I still wonder if I'm expecting too much for six weeks? When did everyone else experience their pain disappearing when walking. I'm exercising doing the elliptical and the exercises suggested by the therapist. And is it okay to use the recumbent cycle after six weeks? Thanks I just wanted to the time frame to measure my progress.
