the tight band is also part of the issue. If you have any questions about the doctor, go with your gut. Was this surgery done at a major medical center? Most drs. will tell you that if the surgery was less than a year they don't want to do much. It can take up to two years for everything to "fall into place." I don't understand why you are having a bone scan and not an xray or MRI.
Is there swelling? Hurt more when going up and down steps?

X-ray done at one year. Looks ok. Can’t have mri because the metal in implant interferes with procedure. Surgery done at local hospital. Some swelling and pain with stairs. Scan will show any infection, allergies to implant materials both of which may require a second surgery ☹️
