What Causes Painful Swelling In The Foot After A Hip Replacement?
I have swelling and pain in my foot , the same leg that I had hip replacement on. 2 months ago. Tests have shown no clot, and nothing showed up on MRI cat scan and x rays. I m on antibiotics intravenously, but nothing has improved. I m frustrated because the Doctors can t seem to figure out what the problem is.

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I would suspect reflex sympathic distrophy syndrom or Sudeck atrophy.
You need to be evaluated on that direction.
Other than that I do not see any cause of your problem.
