My pain is mid thigh basically where the implant ends. I have no pain walking normally or going up stairs most of the time. Walking briskly 3+ physical or moving quickly ie: shooting baskets with my grandkids is a sharper pain that is usually more on the side of my thigh.
After a bone scan the orthopedic guy said the bone never grew properly around the tip of my implant. He says the stresses are not being distributed evenly and I'm feeling everything right at the tip.

@leghurts54 I’m wondering if you just recently got told your bone never grew properly around the tip of your implant from the fall of 2022? That is scary news to find out after all this time especially being told that your X-rays looked okay. Is there anything they can do for that besides a revision?
My mid thigh is still bothering me so I’m going back to my PT and hoping she can evaluate my gait and leg muscles or figure out why I felt so good and now at 5+ months I’m limping.
