Hi I'm currently 10 weeks post op and walking indoor without a stick but outside using one stick. How do I get off using the stick? I currently walk around 1 or 2 miles a day with it. But really want to get so that I don't need it. What has everyone else done to achieve this? Thanks

At first I just carried my stick, so I had it with me 'just in case', then I got a cheap pair of hiking poles which were telescopic (easier to carry), and shock absorbing (easier on the arms/shoulders).
