hip pain only with certain movements

Thank you so much for your reply! Like you, I am continuing to do exercises that my PT recommended for increasing muscle strength around the hip area. I do think that this sharp groin pain (that comes and goes) is probably related to my left hip. Because I had such a terrible experience with knee replacement surgery, I want to put off hip surgery for as long as I can. To hear you say that the surgery was definitely worth doing does give me hope!

@mabfp3 I have heard many people say that knee replacement is more painful and a harder recovery than hip replacement. I did not find the hip replacement extremely painful. I was off the prescription pain relievers within 2 weeks post op. I developed anemia with my surgery so it took me longer to fully recover. You will know you are ready for surgery when the pain gets bad enough or it severely limits your activities. Good luck.
