I had my hip replaced eighteen months ago. Nobody warned me the pain would come back different. The surgery worked. That is what they keep telling me. The X-rays are textbook. The implant is in the right place. The bone grew around the hardware exactly the way it was supposed to. I am, by every measure the medical system uses, a successful case. But I am still in pain. Not the same pain I had befo
