attention arthritis, sciatica sufferers

I have arthritis in my right hip, complicated by sciatica. I am 4 weeks post op and already see a difference, but I still have the limp and the sciatica still shoots down the leg. Have gone to a chiropractor to help with the sciatica but my concern is that I am not walking for any length of time without much pain and I feel like my legs are going to snap like toothpicks. I do swimming exercising in a 93 degree pool 3 times a week, but don't know if I should push walking right now or wait until more weight is off. With the arthritis, doesn't walking with all the weight on the joint make it worse?
