Good news! The surgeon believes that the BHR hardware is fine and the X-rays back that up. After a few painful manipulations, he thinks that I have (only) somehow irritated the Ilio-Tibial band and may also have some bursitis. After some physio, some stretching, and possibly an injection if it does not respond to conventional therapy, this issue will be resolved.
However, if ever you begin to experience the same type of symptoms in the hip as you had pre-op like I did - the pain, the difficulty sleeping, the weakness, and the inability to bear weight - these symptoms may feel exactly as before the operation, but may not be related at all to the BHR. However, they must be verified to be certain and you will also feel so much better mentally and psychologically hearing that news come from the surgeon.
To those of you who initially responded to my concerns and offered suggestions and support, thank you very much.
