I'm sure you've heard, or read here, that it's advised you use an assistive device until you're no longer limping.
A tip -
Try heel-toe walking when / if you're limping. Let your heel hit the ground first followed by toes. It takes a concentrated effort but I believe you'll notice a difference. Give it a try. Just continue to mindfully practice and I'm sure it will come.
If you keep struggling with pain, consider scheduling an appointment with the consultant, or surgeon rather than rely on the word of Physio. You may even want to step away from Physio for a time in case something you're doing there is causing, or aggravating it.
As far as side sleeping, it took me several months also. I'm not even sure I was brave enough to try any sooner and when I finally did, it was uncomfortable so I had to slowly ease into it. Here is an article -

You'll get there, this recovery biz can take some major patience for sure. Hang in there!
