Hi.
The loosening could have rectified itself temporarily when you visited the ortho, I would recommend a repeat xray and immediate consultation with your ortho if this occurs. Impingement could also be causing this and will require a detailed examination and recalling by the operating surgeon. If this persists, a second block should be conducted to make sure all is well.
Best wishes.
