Severe, debilating pain 10 months after anterior hip replacement

Thanks for the details on the exercise ball. I had the third hip operation on same hip , two within this last year. First two posterior and this last one, anterior.They replaced the longest rod available. It has been four weeks since the last operation. PT doesn’t seem to help at all. I have an 8 week appointment, but am very disappointed in my progress. Cannot sleep because of the pain. Pain meds have no affects and make me very barfey and icky feeling all day. My surgeon is well known in this area and his specialty is hip revision so he thinks I should expect pain for sometime. Thanks for sharing.

I had my left hip replaced and the surgeon broke my femur while pounding in the new hip. They told me I might have a few extra days of pain.
Haw! Several months of pain! The worst was trying to sleep at night. I took a great many Tylenols. Still very bad pain. I did put a pillow under that leg and that helped a bit. I did lots of PT. I am a lot better now. Still not 100%. It's been 3 months.
Most of my pain was in my groin, thigh and buttock.
It was hard to get information on this. One thing I did read was pain IS worse at night. I feel for you and understand your pain. Keep up with your PT. It will eventually pay off. All the best to you.
