Chronic pain years after hip replacement

I had a hip replacement in January 2025 and I have ongoing horrible, throbbing pain around the hip (which requires me to take advil, tylenol, and an opiod) that is not improving, and my quad is very stiff. The doctors ruled out anything with the implant through MRI, CT, and X-ray. I'm doing Physical Therapy and gotten a little stronger, but my pain hasn't improved much either. The only recent progress is the dry needling is starting to loosen up the quad but hasn't improved my hip pain yet. I have to use a walker because without it my hip pain gets even worse. Any suggestions? I'm seeing a physiatrist soon, hoping they can give me some injections or something to help with the pain and stiffness.

@bekifft so sorry for your pain…which surgical approach did you have done?
Posterior, Anterior, Lateral, STAR, Superpath…?
