If you are still limping then I would say that is far from normal based on my own experiences and the general experience of others.
For many people who have had a replacement hip they were walking badly and compensating before the surgery. One of the major errors IMO is to walk with just one support after hip surgery so even at this late stage I suggest the following
1. Pick up a pair of arm crutches and really concentrate on walking well without any link and a good powerful gait.
3. Check your walk by looking at yourself in shop Windows.
4. If you are still having difficulty then have a chiropractor check you over because it is more than likely that your frame/back is out of true.
Good luck, Richard

Oh no, that doesn't sound so good. I am two years post-op, and not limping any more, in fact my wife complains about the speed I walk at now when we're out together
