I am at 9 weeks and have just started using 1 crutch indoors although I use 2 outdoors. I have got sick of people telling me where you should be when they know nothing about this brutal operation. You will see from this forum how different we all are. You will know when the time is right.
You need your knee to be stable and not give way. Take your time and listen to your body. Good luck.
