What Causes Groin Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery?

I have had total hip replacement on my left hip in 2005 and 3 months ago I had total knee replacement on my right knee. Now I am experiencing sharp as well as achy pain in my right groin. It is similar to the pain that caused me to have the other hip replaced. Do you think that I most likely should have my right hip replaced?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
As per your history there can be possibility of hip arthritis which can be degenerative

I will advise you do X ray of hip again and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor.

After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI.
Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help.

Pain on climbing stairs can be associated with knee osteoarthritis; do you have knee pain while climbing upstairs?

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
