Pat,
I had my surgery in my home town of Birmingham, AL at the University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital. (UAB) under the care of Dr. Moore.
It is not that my leg seems longer it actually is longer. It doesn't matter if I'm standing or lying on my back there is a diference of 3/4 on of an inch. When I walk it completely throughs my stride off and I walk with more of a limp today than prior to surgery. I'm also experiencing knee pain in the same leg which was not there prior to surgery. I certainly hope your right and all will pull back together giving me a normal stride again. By the way I'm 47 and had been very athletic.
As I stated in my last note, in 2004 I ended up with a total hip replacement. That surgery was done by Dr. Vail at Duke University. Dr. Vail since moved to the west coast to take a head position at U of CSF. My experience in 2004 could not have been better. I was out and about in a matter of days. No discomfort or pain medication after being release from the hosital on the third day.
My current situation has me still experiencing groan pain, stiffness in the joint and lower back as well as the knee situsation. I had expectations of experiencing the same or better result as 2004 with the BHR procedure.
I welcome any suggested exercises or stretches that my help my situation.
Thanks,
Scott
