I think you're right and that 's exactly why you're walking with a limp. It's part of the process. Try to walk slower so you limp less, as it can be hard on your hip, or use your cane to help you through this process, as you're getting stronger. Slowly increase your calf exercises and tip toe walk to gain strength, when you can. Look up proper walking gait on the net. Swing your arms as you walk and try to have a longer walking gait. All these things help to decrease the limp. It just takes some time to regain strength now. I'm so happy things are coming together for you! You are strengthening the bones and muscles a lot now that you can walk. So exciting! Yay!!
