You are 10 days ahead of me. I know how you are feeling, however, I also know I will get there...at my own pace. I still need a cane and walk normally with it. Without the came, sometimes I can take a few steps and be normal before going to the limp. Other times, I am limping right away not using the cane. I was fortunate to not have any pain after surgery, soreness from surgery yes. However, after the first day post op, I did not need the narcotics. With that being said, aches and pains are now cropping up all over! I have muscle soreness in my rib area, my knee hurts, the heels of my feet hurt, I have some numbness in my front upper thigh. I have a bad back to begin with but now I can't sleep in bed as my back hurts too much. I have finally figured out that much (all) of this is all part of the recovery process and it just takes time. For me, probably many (most) of us, I didn't realize the magnitude of this surgery. When I was in my early 20s, I had surgery for an ovarian cyst and back to work in 6 weeks, that was when things were done and in the hospital for a week! Now, it's day surgery. At any rate, I was fine within a few weeks and I think I had that sort of thinking with this. I was also limping for years and I am surmising that is why things are a bit sore now as everything is shifting. You will get there
