Today I had a ct scan which show that I have a bone fracture due to stem loosening which explain the pain that I had for the past three weeks. The good news and after 19 years, the top components are in good shap. He may just end up changing the stem and graft the fracture area.

    So good to know what you are dealing with so that you can it fixed! And 19 years is a pretty good record from what I understand.

    Best wishes for a smooth operation and recovery.
