Oh my, forgot to come and comment. Let's see, its been about 5 1/2 months. Left hip has completely recovered for sure. Thre is no pain in it. I can run full speed actually and that hip feels great. My right one still gives me some fits. It started a couple months before I did the left one. There is a bit of snapping. Doc said that there was a possibility that with the revision n that side (had to go a bit longer because of the ceramic sizes instead of metal ones) that it can cause a little trouble. It comes and goes. Comes with more activity but not always. I am just letting it all ride a while. I have read that some had to have the procedure a 2nd time due to regeneration or something like that. I am in no hurry to have another surgery so I am just going to let it all play out. But I have to tell you that my left hip really feels like I could do anything with it. No tightness, no pain when exercising...awesome!!
If you have followed all my surgeries, the very first one is suspect. It was before I replaced the right one. I had a scope on that hip and that surgeon was not the best (found that out later). He did a LOT of work and I have had other surgeons say that there was no telling where "scar" could be from it. that place on the front where the iliopsoas is hurt like hell after that surgery so it does make me wonder if he nicked something or casue some hidden scar. Still strange that my right one would start hurting and snapping again right before I had the left one released. Not snapping nearly as bad but still doing it. I can put my finger right on that flexor where the pain is. When I take a step with my left foot, it pulls (like it is tight). But it does not do it all the time so, like I said, I am going to live with it for a while...a good while i imagine. Best not run...I'll walk for now..ha ha ha. The difference is that I can pull my right leg up and there is no pain. There is no pain when lifting it (like the usual symptom for iliopsoas problems). Only when it is being stretched. I am not perfect, but way better than I have been since this whole saga started. If I come into a sudden bundle of cash, and it gets worse and worse, I will have a looksee...but for now...march on.
