8 months post left hip arthroscopy

I've reached the 8month mark for my left hip. When i was 8 months post with my right hip, I was having surgery on my left. The way my left hip feels now, there would be no way I could do surgery on the opposite side. It definitely is not perfect. My range of motion is less then my right and I get aching soreness in my thigh and glutes. I also have pinching at the bend of my hip. I am seriously considering getting another opinion. I mentioned that I still have stiffness in the hip to Dr. Hip when I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he said "I'm not a year out yet"! Really? How long does this go on? I feel at this point that I am being brushed aside, but maybe he can't do anything else for me. He doesn't say that though. Again, I have to figure it out for myself. That's why I want to go to HSS, hoping to at least get evaluated. Tell me all the things he didn't or wouldn't. I just hope it's the right decision.
