Yeah the original doctor treated me for bursitis, said I had a twisted pelvis, said I have arthritis in my back, said the left hip was causing undue pressure on my replaced hip, blamed it on my weight, I am 6'4' and weight 230, gave me multiple cortisone shots, and several other issues. I finally went to another clinic in a major city not connected to the first one and as soon as the doctor looked at the Xray he said the stem implant was lose in the bone and that it never attached. Ended up at another surgical center, and the doctor there said the same exact thing. By this time my left hip had reached a point where it needed to be replaced as soon as possible,2 months in and almost pain free. the first doctor screwed up and everyone knows it, but getting them to testify to it will be impossible.
