Bummer- I had the femoral nerve injured after hip replacement, my leg felt like there were firecrackers in it, Burning pain is
nerve pain and it takes a long time to heal. Is PT recommended? If so, take advantage of what they can offer. I find water therapy helped me the most. When I had my left hip done the sciatic nerve was injured and I had a dropped foot. It took about 2 years in water therapy to regain my foot to its previous condition. Don't give up. This is a process and with your doctors approval you can try things accupuncture, PT, and other things. Try to be positive, Good luck!
