thanks for replying, it sounds wierd and its hard to explain but the pain will make my leg buckle. i have been doing my own PT at home for 3 months, bike and walking squats but when i stand in one spot and put most of my weight on my leg then try to move or pivot WOW does it hurt. So glad that I am not crazy. Hope you find relief. This is my 2nd thr and the first on would slip out if joint the 1st few months and was real scary too.

I have also experienced the buckling of the leg. The pain also made me involuntarily cry out as it hurts so much, my husband heard me on the other side of the house. Pivoting and weight bearing on one leg are problematic. In the shower I have to bend all the way down to wash my foot on the opposing leg as I can't stand on that leg solely for any length of time. I would tell you that you are absolutely not crazy, and just because Dr.s have not identified the root cause doesn't make you crazy. Some people have recommended cortisone shots but as I am a diabetic, those are really not an option for me and they are not a permanent solution. Please keep me informed on your journey to find relief and I will do the same. All the best.
