Hello, I have had that feeling but it started with my fall that resulted in a THR.! I was diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia. It is a rare complication with THR. Google it for more information. I pray that is not what it is because it is terrible to endure. I had 4 stem cell procedures and pelvic therapy and it eventually went away. Also, I hate to hear you have bursitis as well! I did also and my turned out to be a torn gluteus minimus tendon which can also be a complication of the surgery or just caused by overuse (maybe injured in PT??) Or deterioration of tendon. Only a MARS MRI can diagnose this. It took a long time to get my Dr to do the MRI. I suggest you ask for one ASAP. They will want to do steroid injections for bursitis but that just weakens tendons more. However, I think insurance requires this conservative measure. God Bless you! I know you are enduring pain.

I also had a huge tear of my gluteus medius tendon a year after I had a THR. I tripped once and must have twisted my hip. Lots of pain and had it fixed. What difference that made. Zero discomfort now. It’s always good to hear someone else has the same problem.
