Juli,
I used an electric massaging device like Brady mentioned for my distraction pain--it was a life saver. My wife really helped with light massage work. Cutting back on the walking might be a good idea (you are only a month out of surgery).
Take it easy for a couple of days--> the life-saving massager looks like this (I hope they still sell them... I borrowed mine from my mother-in-law and she purchased it awhile back).
I hope you start to feel better!
Justin
