@repsher I hope I’m in the right division of MCC. I have not had THR but have a sore ankle resulting from doing squats and other core exercises barefoot. This has been an issue for almost 2 months.

X-ray showed no fracture. Orthopedic doctor had no ideas for me. PT gave me exercises that exacerbated problem. Acupuncturist has given me 3 treatments. After the first I felt improvement in pain level. After second, no improvement. No improvement after the third. Acupuncturist thinks it may be a chronic issue and is not sure she can help me, in part because I have extreme sensitivity to the needles.

I should also report that I just turned 90, have advanced OA, but have never fractured anything and have no other serious joint problems.

Can anyone suggest what I might try next so that I don’t spend the rest of my life limping?

Some kind of injection? What kind of doctor might best address a problem like this? I have a pain management doctor who has been treating stenosis and other back problems.

I would so much appreciate ideas from all of you helpful and knowledgeable folks on this forum. And sorry if I’m sending this to the wrong department.
