Hi Audy, Welcome.
That kind of thing bugs me too. I'm guessing he let something slip and later regretted it, but I'd also (if it were me) press him to elaborate. I'd make it clear that you want/need to know what to expect and how to deal with whatever it is. If he still won't explain himself, I might consider asking my PCP, or if necessary, get the opinion of another surgeon.
Get copies of all your medical records, tests, reports, etc. There may be something in there that could provide a clue.
Like Lee, I'm riddled with osteo, but I'm also considerably older.
Doc
