Hi @maryfrommi and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll see that I moved your post to this discussion: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/normal-recovery-after-hip-replacement/?pg=1#comment-723642 in the Joint Replacement Group so that you could connect with others who are experiencing similar issues.
Did you mention the amount of weakness you were experiencing during your appointment?
Ask for appt with surgeon. Sounds to me like your hipped slipped out and back into socket. I know that pop sound all too well, have had 5 dislocations in the 3 months since hip replacement. You'd know if it fully dislocated - extremely painful, requires ER visit.
You should be evaluated, prob X-rays again. If you had a dislocation, it can really mess with the muscles around hip joint and set your healing back.
