What Causes Terrible Pain In Hip Post Hip Replacement Surgery?

I had a left hip replacement last Friday, Nov 31. On and off I have had pain that is bearable but 3 times I have ended up with terrible pain in my hip and down my left leg. I have no fever to speak of and have tried to keep going, hoping it would finally go away, but today during church the pain returned. It was very painful, all around my groin area and my normal, hip and leg pain. I have put ice on it, taken strong pain tablets as the prescribes. Any other suggestions???? Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

An ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION of the involved area or an MRI scan will establish the nature of pathology.

As you can have bursitis after the total hip replacement surgery, I suggest you to consult an Orthopedic surgeon (preferably a Joint replacement surgeon) for a detailed examination, workup and further management depending upon the nature of pathology.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
