I an dealing with the same almost two years out from my 2nd hip replacement. I sometimes get a super sharp pain and then aches in my thigh radiating all of the way to my knee. Surgeon did x-ray and said all looks fine. Went to another orthopedic Dr who did CT. Said it was inconclusive. Gave me PT. I have to take a cane everywhere. Thanks for the info about yours.

That's what I have been going through too. I finally just was able to see a different hip surgeon in a totally different office because my other one wasn't helping me at all. Then new one is doing an MRI, he did and X-ray and the fracture that happened in surgery healed, but he said there is a tendon in the front that can get very angry when they do a replacement. Best case is he will order a steroid injection done by a radiologist because it has to be done with an ultrasound so that they get it in the right spot. And worse case they go back in and cut the tendon. The leg muscles will take over to lift my leg but the tendon won't work anymore and the pain will be gone.
