A second opinion and new x-rays might be a good idea at MGH. I had my hip done at MGH. It was a complex hip replacement. Four months in and I am finally feeling ok. My surgeon said that I exceeded expectations when I saw him two weeks ago. I was also told to go to New England baptist but my 92 year old neighbor had her surgery done ant MGH about 5 years ago and after doing extensive research I decided to go with her surgeon. So glad I did. Although not allergic to pain meds I can only take Tylenol for pain because I am on blood thinners for life due to the 3 dvts I’ve had in the past 22 years. I had no problem taking 25 mgs of Tramadol but it really wasn’t all that helpful.
