I had a THR approximately 18 years ago. I am now feeling pain again in my hip especially doing things like raising my leg to get into my car. How will I know when it may be time to see a doctor about a revision? I am 73 years old.

@gksp
I would say now. Get a baseline review of your status and you can then, over time, see how much it is changing.

@gksp Also, examine your personal fitness. We often become less active/strong as we get older. Perhaps the cause is simpler than a failing hip - like bursitis, or weakening muscles - that can be treated with PT, targeted exercise or anti-inflammatory medication.
Have you talked to your care team about the change?
