I was soon walking around with no crutches! To start with it was just around the house, hanging onto furniture, and walking with one crutch but within a few of weeks I was free! Once I started weight bearing I did find it painful, it wasn't as bad as before surgery but it was still uncomfortable. I think a lot of this was due to muscle weakness or damage and gradually it became easier and less painful. I was having physio once or twice a week which really helped. You need to do the exercise to get the results!
By about 8 weeks post op I was driving again, and by 10 weeks I was off crutches and back at work. I couldn't walk too far but things definately got easier with time.
