He was able to diagnose quickly from the X-ray my bursitis which I feared from the pain meant his replacement. He said my left hip was in good shape and I was relieved. I was concerned that he didn’t read my medical history to ascertain previous illnesses and allergies.

I’m impressed with the surgery in that there is hardly any scar. But it still hurts mostly along the panty line when I’m sitting down. I’d like to continue with PT at home. I don’t know how to get in the shower. I can’t lift my surgery leg very high. The PT person didn’t show me.
