I'm at same time since my left anterior THR. Also, walking well without any aid though I do use the cane later in the day when I seem to be more tired or when I want to walk faster. The tylenol is also what I take when necessary, but only one 500 mg pill at a time. Since I rarely take anything for headaches, etc. that seems to be strong enough.
I haven't driven yet, but not for any special reason.
Only issue I continue to have is groin area of surgical incision isn't healing very quickly. Surgeon looks at it weekly and told me he "might" have to close it again. Little nervous about that.
