Your physical therapist can likely help you with this problem. I would bet that aquatic exercise, whether swimming or just water walking, would be a good option. Being in the water unloads the joints and provides good resistance.

Good luck!

Swimming. It doesn't put stress on your joints, but will exercise the muscles.

Your doctor or a personal trainer could tell you.
