Yes, it can be a long wait. I am in S. California. My 1st surgery date: 7 months wait. When it was cancelled, the new date was 1 month later. When that date was cancelled, the new date was 2 months later. When that one was cancelled, the new date is in May is a 3 1/2 month wait! I hope I can get my procedure done finally! There are long waits here to have an Orthopedic visit.

wow! I just made an appointment in Minnesota as a new ortho patients for my shoulder and elbow - I guess a 6 week wait is pretty good.

I feel sorry for you, I have felt hip pain and its no fun at all. It took me a few months to decide to have it done but aside from the thigh pain I am experiencing the last couple months I am glad I had it done. Had my left hip done a few years ago and that puts stress on your other hip which is what happened to me. Good luck and pray you find relief soon.
