Gilden Re: Hip resurfacing — I am 8 weeks post op of hip resurfacing. My arthritic pain from the joint is completely gone. but I'm still having significant pain and sitffness due to the surgery. I am told that over the coming months that will resolve. the pain has gone down enough so that I no longer need any meds and have been able to return to my sedentary desk job--though the MD has asked me to use one crutch until I am 10 weeks post op.
