Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi group! I had a hip replacement ® done in 1993, a knee replacement (L) done in 2002, and a broken hip/shattered thigh bone (L) repaired in 2003. The surgeries went wonderfully well, and I recuperated without incident. The doctor had to shorten my left leg to repair the break. I wear a corrective shoe to compensate for the difference in length (about 1 inch). Now I walk terribly. I have a tendency to plod along like enstein! I do daily strengthening exercises, but I see no improvement in my walking. I depend on a walker or quad cane to help me. Can anyone offer any suggestions? My doctor tells me to continue doing the exercises. I am terribly frustrated!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
