Has your doctor considered particle disease? My sister had it in her hip (many years after the original replacement) - the prosthesis starts shedding particles and the body's immune system attacks them, causing inflammation, and deterioration of the bone and surrounding muscle. She had to have a revision surgery to go in clean it all out, remove and replace the problematic parts of the prosthesis. Her original surgeon kept telling her he couldn't find anything wrong.
