Calluna, what about a walker with wheels? Would that take enough weight off your leg? It would be a little easier on the arm pits.

Good thought Violet. I've considered one of those, but there are several reasons why they won't work too well for me. I'm not going with the underarm crutches though, I am going to try the elbow ones.

The real problem with a walker is that I don't have the upper body strength to support my own weight in that way. I still cannot do a single pushup or pullup although I can support my own weight hanging from a pullup bar for a lot longer than I used to be able to manage. I'm working on it...

Why it hurts when I move or put weight on the right leg - I have been thinking about this. When I move the leg there is very sharp pain along the line of the edge of the mesh on that side. Perhaps it has moved some more? - I know it is not in the same place where it was originally placed - or maybe the scar tissue/adhesions have grown or shifted in some way? - externally the area feels lumpy and puffy in a way that it did not use to, also very tender to the touch, which again did not use to be the case.

I am no anatomist. I am wondering if moving the leg would normally cause any associated movement or tension in the pelvic floor? Perhaps rigidity is the problem - meaning the sheet of mesh and the concomitant scar tissue?
