I stayed on my meds, because I needed them to stay comfortable, for the first 3 weeks and found that I forgot the midday dose which was a sign it wasn't needed.
As Elf says, this can vary but you are only one week out from BTHR so there is no hurry to drop now or transition to a cane.
I know the walker can be cumbersome, slow, and made me feel like an invalid...but I honestly had a hard time with just a cane.
You lose nothing by using your walker. As long as you are moving about your and putting weight on your legs, use the walker until you feel ready to try cane or walking poles.
I didn't think to try this but some members have done better with them.
At first, I was anxious and tensed to try to "suspend" myself on the walker which really hurt my palms and wrists. Those hips are already pretty strong, it's the soft tissue that is still fragile and healing.
The most important thing is your confidence and safety. Use your walker and perhaps soon you can practice with the cane in your house where you have furniture you can grab onto. If you take a gradual approach, you can build up your confidence bit by bit. You will know when you are ready.
One of my legs emerged as the stronger one so the cane was then used when out and about more for stability and balance.
