I will be having hip surgery and need something I can lean on and push in the pasture - will it work?

You cannot push this garden cart. It is made to be tilted and pulled similar to a wheeled suitcase. It works really very well in this manner. I had back surgery and cannot lift heavy items, this cart allows me to pull items where I need them in the garden/yard.

This cart does not have brakes on the wheels, so I don't think you could safely lean on it. It's a handy little cart, I bet you could find many uses for it. I use it to bring groceries, etc. into the house. Not sure how it'd hold up in dirt, I have only used it indoors.

The short answer is "no." It's not that the device is delicate but its function is to pull loads, not support someone leaning on the handle. It's more of a "pull" tool than a push tool as I said above. I'd use a wheeled walker if I were you with some kind of bag hanging on the walker to carry feed or hay. Walkers are designed to support a human's weight. You can find them inexpensively priced at many of the thrift shops.

Yes. Just make sure you assemble it properly. Assembly can be annoying. I would suggest a socket wrench set. You'll be inverted in no time if you have a socket wrench. I invert every day with it. Seems very solid. I weigh about 172lbs. I would say that if you weighed over 210lbs, you might feel less sturdy on it, but I think it's rated for a lot higher. You can't beat the price either. Make sure assembly is done correctly and you're golden. I don't use the snap on boots with this and it is not required. Shoes or even barefoot works just find. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search.

I think it might work for that. My problem concerns my lower back and down along my leg, so the cushion pressed on those areas. There is a gap where your coccyx bone is so I would guess that would be OK for you.

I don't think it would be useful for the hip. Better option is a large ice pad inside a pillow case.

It should, plus you should so some squats while taking it also. Those should help

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

I was not able to use the Kegal because I need a hip replacement. I did not know this until I tried but feel it could help a lot if not for my hip.

It will probably help take some of the stress off of it but it is meant for groin and inner thigh injuries. If you decide to buy it and give it a try let me know how it works for you. I had a really bad groin injury and this help me be able to walk and jog a little bit. Good luck

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.

Most likely it would work. It can be placed for easy access, so you don't have to reach near any moving parts. It could be activated by knee, hip, etc. And it can be moved to other tools.

I had hip surgery in late June, and I used it with support knee highs to get the hose over my feet, then pulled the hose up the rest of the way.

I realty think it would work fine. I sit down then slide the squatty potty in position under my feet. It's a squat position without the weight on your legs.

My daughter who just went through hip surgery said they would be better than regular crutches. Give you more balance and more comfortable. So I would say yes. PT in the hospital will teach her the form and it all just healing from there.

I use it to stretch my groin too (besides thd hammy) .. so it may. My straddle got closer to the ground but my intention was not to be able to do a split

I found it stable. I would re-tighten the "screw" when I cleaned the toilet. You can tighten it as you sit on it. I would use my counter as support when I need to stand as my replaced hip healed.

I don't see why not, you may not want to tighten it as tight but this really helped me walking with a groin/thigh/hip injury.

Yes. It accommodates my bloodhound (95 lbs) with room to spare. And it helps her sore hip.
