This is so helpful and does give me some hope. Do you know if most of her pain was in the outside area where the realignment cutting happened? Did she also have locking in that same area? Thanks again!

I don't know those answers, but maybe someone else here can help.
I just wanted to let you know that when they add other corrections to a usually routine surgery, there are more places that need to heal, and it can all take longer, but it is quite usual to have good results in the end.
And I will tell you, after 5 hip replacement surgeries and a variety of other orthopedic procedures, 6 weeks is a very short time - although it can feel like "forever" when you hurt. Remember that not only have bones been cut/moved/altered, but also muscles, nerves and ligaments. Each one heals on its own timetable, and these can also very from one person to another, or even from one operation to another in the same person.
