Before I was told I needed a knee replacement I considered that at least part of the pain might be from my hip implant wearing out. I went to see a physiatrist (MD level for physical therapy, etc) She did xray and said that the implant looked fine; then added that only rarely did an implant "go bad". However this was 14 yrs. after the surgery and I had not had any problems with it. I think I was just hoping to find something other than the need for a hip replacement. I would get the records. Good luck.
