Yes be very concerned. I am out 12 years and in constant pain. All tests show no problems! Cannot put weight down on that leg so daily chores hard. Yet I can ride my bikes ok and swim.
Try not to despair because that does no good but the docs are good at pacification and obfuscation but not at giving you your original parts back….

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.
