Dr. Van de Leur did my hip this year. There's a certain pain I wasn't expecting, that seems unusual for the surgery that was done. I'm getting that checked out. But the recent X-ray shows everything is perfect. The hip itself is pain-free, as it should be since it's now artificial. The bursitis is completely gone. He did a great job. His bravado was a bit off the chart during the consultation, saying I'd be good to go within a couple of weeks - the nurse explained a few weeks later that it'll be up to 6 months before I'm completely healed and jumping on a trampoline again (yes, I do that). But other than the over-inflated ego, the surgery itself went fine. As for the ego - most bone surgeons have that affectation. The guy who did my knee was even worse.
