hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have hip pain post hip replacement I will advice you firstly to stop smoking as it will aggrevate the blood cells to clot and lead to abnormal reactions.

Also, for post surgery pain you need to visit the surgeon and have an x-ray if the implant is in place. Since many a times in hip replacement there are chances for dislocation leading to pain.

Also there might be muscle weakness which may be leading to pain as it is also a common problem.

To rule out all the factors we need a thorough clinical examination post which the next treatment action can be initiated.
