First PT appointment after hardware removal

I've been having a lot of hypersensitivity on my hip lately. It hurts to touch. I've also been unsuccessfully trying to come off of crutches. He said the hypersensitivity is from fluid collection in the tissues, the exercises I am supposed to do will help move it all out. At 5 weeks out from the glute repair he does not think I should be coming off of crutches yet and thinks I need to wait a little longer. My OS had said start weaning off around now but clearly my hip has a mind of its own.
