Upper Thigh Pain Months After Hip Replacement

Was your pain in your upper thigh in the front? The fracture for me is up high and in the back but my PT’s have told me the IT band is right there and so is the hamstring and other major muscle groups.
They didn’t fix the fracture at all, when I had the ct scan in the er a month after they kept asking me if I fell, like it was a new break.
I wish I could have opted out of the replacement, I’m 52 and I had a really bad accident at work, my hip took the impact and it was so badly damage it was the only option to replace it

Yes, the pain was in the front upper thigh -- I could not raise my leg. Had many diagnostics including Ultrasound, Xray, then MRI that showed fluid which was aspirated and found to be non-infectious. Had muscle (PT) and nerve procedures (including painful test for nerve ablation and needling) to no relief. I went to Duke Medical Center and they couldn't diagnose anything except possibly the wire being the culprit. I was 63 at the time of my hip replacement and feel it hindered rather than helped my existence to date. I've always been sensitive to surgical procedures and have experienced some mishaps (infection) through the years. Keep with your journey for answers
