I am sorry but I am not familiar enough with the mini evasive THR to answer your question.

The one thing that bothers me is that your doctor told you that you have to learn to live with the pain.  For me, that is not an acceptable answer.  If you doctor cannot give you a more definitive answer, I would look at finding another doctor with more experience.  You might also want to investigate pain management clinics, but first look for another doctor to consult on your case.  See if you can find a teaching hospital in your area and find out who heads up the orthopedic area and request a referral from them.

I wish I could be of more help, but I just don't feel I am familiar enough with the type of THR that you had to answer you.
