[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone on this great forum for the helpful replies. I

sent an email to Koen DeSmet about the problem and I'm sure he'll

respond promptly as he always does. He'll probably want me to get an

x-ray to him. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again.

Ask him if development of scar tissue can cause the pain. I've been hearing

a lot lately about scar tissue from an operation causing other problems later,

usually around the year-and-a-half to 2-year timeframe. I'm not necessarily

talking about hip surgeries, but surgery in general.
