My left total hip replacement was done on APRIL 20, posterior approach, and I’m on my 15th day today and I can’t weight bear without the help of my walker because of leg weakness and I’m putting terrible pressure on my wrists.
It’s becomming increasing unbearable to walk because of the discomfort to my wrists and now my fingers are numb. Don’t need any additional problems.
Is this a red flag something that something is horribly wrong with my device?
When I was in the hospital when I walked there were terrible sounds of popping and cracking every step but a few days after getting home that resolved.
Is it abnormal to not weight Bear fully on day 15? I’d fall if I didn’t have my walker.
My weight is good and I was active before surgery but had lots of osteophytes and bone spurs and cysts due to bone on bone and I was told there was a lot to clean up.
So my question is am I the only one not fully weight bearing at this point ? I can stand without assistance but not walk.
Should I up my meds at this stage?
Taking a few Tylenol every 6 hours
Appreciate any thoughts as I’m very discouraged at this point.

Hugs to all hipsters!!!!
