Hi M ~ You asked how long it took to get my hip to settle down, etc.. cause I had a herniated disc. Well, I thought after surgery it would. It's been 24 years, and I STILL have that awful pain!!!! You see, a couple of years later, I herniated another disc, and my surgeon waited too long to do anything about it, and I ended up with permanent sciatic nerve damage. So I have PERMANENT sciatica and it's been HELL. I'm now disabled, and on medications, plus have several more herniations and am inoperable. LOL.

Ya gotta laugh. Otherwise, you'll go nuts! LOL God bless and I hope you get some answers soon. Peace, Lee
