Hi all,
New to the group and have looked to see if my question has already been asked. I didn't see it so here goes: I've had bilateral resurfacing done; left sd done Nov 14, rt sd done Dec 14. I wanted to get them done close together so there was really only 1 recovery. Anyway, left was successful, rt was not. I had 2 tendons tear (gluteus medius and gluteus minimus) immediately post surgery. Not happy with my doctor but that's another rant.
Recently had tendons reattached by another doc (June 3, 2014) which helped with the daily pain and strong limp caused by 2 tendons hanging off the bone. However, I still can't drive for more than 30 minutes before I get a strong throbbing pain in my quad and buttock. This has been happening since first resurfacing surgery. Doctor response to this is "That's odd". Thanks doc, you're a genius. I literally have to use a cane or straighten my leg and use my outside ankle bone to mash down on the gas pedal. This never goes away even if I medicate heavily in advance. Xrays come back clean. What I'm having to do just to drive is terribly dangerous.
Anyone else out there with the same problem? Hopefully I've provided enough info on the situation.
