Could it be meralgia Paresthetica? Is your thigh numb as well? This happened to me after right hip replacement. The femoral nerve gets compressed.

@teachtee no I am not having numbness

@teachtee This has happened to me also. Right at 4 months post op on right hip. Thigh is still numb and am having trouble with pain and tenderness on top of thigh and also IT band pain down the side of the thigh, except for the numb area. I've had PT religiously since my surgery and finally decided PT was not going to cure this problem. It will just have to heal at it's own pace as I continue to do stretches and exercises and stay as active as our weather permits. All things point to this taking sometimes as long as a year to work itself out and the numbness may never completely go away.
