@jtgr Hoping you find some answers at your appointment to go over the results next week.

Along with the pain, you mention difference in leg length. After 5 hip replacements/revisions I was in a lot of pain and not gaining mobility.

My ortho wrote an order for physical therapy with gait training - our bodies need help accommodating to both the change of joint and the leg length issue or they will rebel. In my case, I had both back and knee pain, but a regimen of pool and land therapy plus home exercises (which I did for a whole year) resolved the issue - in spite of both stenosis and arthritis in my spine.

You might consider requesting a PT evaluation (by someone who specializes in joint replacement) at your appointment. They will work with you to get an appropriate lift as well if needed.
