My wife had a small fracture in her right hip. She had extreme pain and groin pain.
The surgeon did a hip REPAIR because he was concerned it would get worse and then a hip replacement would be necessary. She had the REPAIR and still has the pain and difficulty putting her right leg down to walk up steps.
It has been 5 months since the surgery and she still has pain with some improvement.
Her biggest problem is sitting for approx 20 to 30 minutes and then because of the pain, she gets up with additional pain getting up from the chair. She will walk a short distance and then sit again and then repeat. She is most comfortable standing and walking. Has anyone had a similar experience? How long does the discomfort last. She is allergic to aspirin and all NSAIDS including celebrex . All she takes is tylenol. Any comments.

Welcome @mdg1941, Sorry to hear your wife is having extreme pain following the hip repair procedure. I'm sure your wife if not alone and other members have posted similar symptoms. I did a quick search of Connect for "pain following hip repair" and found several discussions and member comments that might offer some suggestions - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=pain%20following%20hip%20repair.

Has she discussed the extreme pain and groin pain with her surgeon or care team to see if they may have some suggestions?

John, thanks for your prompt response. Yes she has been checking with her physician.
He explained that the pain will take time and should greatly improve or disappear within 8 to 12 months. We are also have an appointment with a hip specialist in NY at NY Presbyterian Hospital.
