It's tough i know- I have had both done too-I think you should ask the advice of your surgeon or physio first

Good luck

You mean a rollator walker, like in the photo below? Limping can cause problems with your recovery, as you overtax the muscles that have to carry you through the limp. I found a rollator walker to be extremely useful to me as I limped between my two hip surgeries. I was able to walk smoothly and quickly when using it, and I didn't hurt myself by making my other muscles work too hard. I found using crutches much more difficult. And the seat on the rollator meant I could put heavy items on it and move them around the house easily.
