That sounds painful! I am surprised that they did not remove the bone spur the first surgery. Was the same tendon torn the second time? Is it your gluteal tendons that were torn by your bone spur or was it a hip flexor/hamstring? Did the surgeon tell you what to expect from both surgeries and why they “failed?” Do you have nerve damage from the surgery? Did the surgeon say if they could repair the problem or have you considered getting a second or third opinion?

They did remove the spur during the first surgery. He wasn’t sure why the first one failed. However, the second surgery. He was quite skeptical if it would work. By that time, the tendons were pretty shredded. I was told that I could try to have artificial tendons put in but at my age, 74 I decided no more surgeries for me and I’ll just walk with a cane and or walker
