Right hip replacement

Posted , 1 user is following.

I'm 4 weeks post op hip replacement and was requested by my doctor to transist from walker to cane and i started doing it just a couple days ago but for some reason it hurts my left ribcage pretty bad, can someone explain that? i have it at the right height and followed videos on how to use it but it just really hurts the ribcage.

I'm pretty close to walking without it but im following doctors instructions.
