Having to use a cane myself, I agree with [Unknown site tag]. Make sure the cane is the correct height for you. If necessary, get one at a medical supply store that will assist you or make sure the pharmacy knows how to check with your height, arm length and stride. Yes, your stride is shortened when 'hobbling', but everyone has a different stride.
It seems easier to walk hunched over a cane, but it is really bad for both your posture and what is hurting. Goodspeed on healing.
