I'm pleasantly surprised that I have what feels like a pulled quad muscle, as he went in through the front and only had to slide muscle aside to do the thing, and no muscle or tendon damage. They're saying apply full weight to the new hip and take "baby steps" while upping the walking time by more minutes each day or two. I do know it feels so much better putting weight on it, and the Dr. said the original was ground to dust, any further trying to walk with it could have gone really bad real quick.
