Hoping I have some good news! Had my first PT visit since the limp got so bad, and after many diagnostic movements, I was diagnosed with an L3-L4 lumbar related compensatory hip limp on my nonoperative leg. This, and the fact that I got relief from the SI injection a month ago, seem to suggest that the limp is caused by old spine issues, probably made worse by my pre-op bedrest and then the surgery on my other hip.
He then applied pressure to the relevant discs for about 5 minutes, and I could feel a release. Next, I did two back flexing moves ten times each while on my stomach. Not making this up: I got off the table and walked better than I have in a year. I'll see him two times a week and do my black flexes every 1 to 2 hours at home. No doubt more brutal exercises to come.
Funny: my PT is a former student of mine!!! I told him I'd he hurt me, I'd flog him and give him a time-out
