Is Thigh Pain A Possible Symptom After A Total Hip Replacement?
I had total right hip replacement in December 2015 and back surgery [L1 through L5] to decompress the nerves in March 2016. In a post-op visit with my Hip surgeon, I mentioned that both my thighs feel like they re not getting enough oxygen and the muscles feel fatigued as the day wears on. The doctor suspected claudication and referred me to a cardiovascular specialist. I went through extensive tests and then yesterday had an angio procedure with dye. No blockages were detected. Any thoughts on what else could be causing this sensation in my thighs? Thanks.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if the concern test is unremarkable then it must be the musculoskeletal condition having no specific reasons but symptoms can be managed with some general managements, drink more water try to keep the leg in elevated position, vitamin E can be tried, else it is nothing to worry and hope this information helps.
