Hello, it is difficult to live with pain, especially after a surgery that was supposed to make you feel better.
When you say "pain in the middle of my thigh" can you be a little more specific and describe where - front, back, inner or outer side? How near the hip, and how far does it extend? What does the pain feel like? Is it tingling, burning, stabbing, aching? How long has it been going on? Did the surgeon take any images when you started having the pain?

Wow, that's a lot of questions. But a better description will help those of us who have had joint replacement surgery offer suggestions about the next steps. Those of u on Mayo Connect are all patients ourselves and can relate to the frustration you feel when something goes wrong and nobody seems to want to listen.

Please share some more information so we can help you find an answer.
Sue

The pain is in the front of my leg. Between my knee and hip, about a 3 x 4 spot. And it feels like I was stabbed with a long needle. I can be fine one minute, then can't walk the test of the day because of the pain. It's been going on about two months now. The surgeon took an x-ray and said everything looked good.
