Gordon,
I think it's time to take charge of your health. That means obtaining digital copies of your x-rays and getting a second opinion. I'm not sure what state you are in, but please check Pat's list of doctors and pick one who has received good reviews on this site and who is close to you, then go see him/her. If you are not sure how to do that, then tell us where you are located and we will help you figure out where the closest doctors are.
If you are not close to any of the doctors on the list, then email your x-rays to one of the top docs, such as Dr. Su, Dr, Bose, or Dr. Gross. If you don't feel comfortable doing that yourself, then contact Vicky Marlow (her website is
http://www.hipresurfacingsite.com/). She has helped dozens, if not hundreds of patients.
Finally, if you are outside the U.S., then tell us that too. There are a number of Canadian, Australian, and Brits who monitor this site and have been willing to offer advice in the past. Don't give up. This is a wonderful site to start your journey to recovery.
Mac
