@leerica71 and welcome to Bonesmart.
Please could you tell us your exact surgery date and which hip you had replaced so we can put this information in your signature and add you to the July recovery group.
It is great not to have that horrid hip pain, isn't it?
There are many members who struggle with "losing the limp" and it sounds like you have done alot of exercising that leg and perhaps it is staying tight because it needs a bit more rest. Have you been icing and elevating any since your surgery?
Did you acquire your TENS unit for pain management for your leg?
I found shorter walks were more helpful than longer ones while concentrating on my gait.
Striking heel first and rolling on to toe.
Many new hippys worry that their is a
leg length differential but this often just perceived due to the tightness and inflammation. (Click on the highlighted text above to see our article on LLD)
I'm really wondering if you have possibly been working too hard on recovery and possibly some more rest, and ice and elevation would help most of all.
Below I will leave you our recovery guidelines even though you are 3 months out...there are some great articles about recovery expectations.
