I found this site when Googling: 'hip pain after hip replacement,' I had the surgery two and a half years ago and all was well until three nights ago. I deliberately tried to sleep only on my right side, because I have a painful frozen shoulder on the left side. I did put weight on my tight hip when asleep. When I woke up, I could hardly walk , because my entire right leg hurt so much. It is better now but walking is painful and I limp badly, as a result. I am terrified I will have to have another surgery due to a loose ball in the socket. I'm 83, so any surgery is risky. Christmas is ruined and I don't know how soon I can get an appointment. Thank you.
