You will build the small muscles you really need to weight bear when walking, and you just don't build them on a zimmer walker. My form and walking ability has literally shot up drastically in the last 2 weeks longer than many months with a walker. I am almost able to walk using only 1 arm crutch as well now.

I'm really thinking about that as well. I feel that I'm not progressing with my walker. Thanks for this!!

I know it is maybe difficult to say but if you really want, are you able to make one step unaided?

Kind regards!

i had sort of same problem. my right leg was very weak and could bare very little weight. but my doctor recommended to walk as much as possible and tho it was difficult and very painful but now after weeks it has improved. The pain is gone but what is left is a little stronger leg. But i stil have my other share of problems.

I am 1 month post op and can walk indoors and sometimes outdoors. I think ur muscles atrophied and u just need to catch up and build strength. do eat protien everyday.
