Hi.
THe unbearable pain in in left lower abdomen after surgery of hip replacement with prior UTI is indicative of an infection in the operated site.
It is possible that you had an active focus of infection which was not under control in spite of an antibiotic cover.
I would suggest you to undergo MRI of the operated hip joint along the abdomen to see for the possibility as explained.
Also advisable is blood culture and sensitivity, urine culture and sensitivity to get the sensitivity report so that proper antibiotics can be started.
