I got back to work this week (I work from home on a computer).
I mowed my yard (4 acres) with a zero-turn riding mower (not a push mower -- that would be hell!!!) A zero-turn mower does not require any use of the legs, since it's totally controlled by the arms. The seat vibration should help with circulation near the hip -- it's almost like a massager.
I bought an Ergobaum 7G forearm crutch/cane with an arm cuff and ergonomic handle, which is more comfortable than a regular cane, walker, or underarm crutches. I don't need a crutch, cane or walker to walk, but it may help when walking long distances.
I got a prescription for muscle relaxer (methocarbamol) because the thigh often cramps or stiffens up,
