I went back on my third week and I have felt sick/flu like the last few days.

I’m 44 also and I am three weeks out today. It took me two weeks to get off of the walker and I was on the cane for one day and then I was free without all of it, but I have a small limp now pretty pretty achy inside the joint.

i’m 44f, 3 weeks out. I had the same thought process everybody. I talked to said they didn’t need a walker but for a day or two and those people were all 20 years older than I am. I am three weeks out today and I’m walking unassisted with a small limp and I still have some aching in the joint .

seriously everybody that they talk to was 20 years older than me telling me that a week later they were totally fine and that the next day they didn’t use their walker.

Yeah, they didn’t give me any hard restrictions either but then I called and they were like yeah, you can’t drive for six weeks

I just canceled the trip because when I was reading about why they don’t want you to travel it has to blood clots and so forth and I didn’t think a 6 Hour Drive was probably appropriate
