@bbrebozo Good morning - I'm sorry to hear you are having problems after your hip replacement. I'm sure you will find some suggestions from others here on Mayo Connect who have similar experiences.

Let me start by saying I have had 5 hip replacement and revisions. Aside from the fact that my first 2 THR implants eventually caused a big problem for me, my first recoveries were uneventful. The revisions (5 years later) was not so happy. I had tissue in my thigh that was badly damaged by metal poisoning in that leg from the failed first implant, with muscle damage. As I recovered, I had severe pain in that thigh, and had to have a lot of extra PT and gait training. It also took a long time for the muscle to rebuild. Also hip replacement surgery, while seemingly routine, is a big deal - bones are cut & pounded on, muscles & nerves are moved around, and may also be cut or damaged, the change in the hip changes your body mechanics, so your other joints may need to be retrained. Finally every body heals at a different rate, muscles heal faster than nerves; nerves repair and regenerate VERY slowly - and we need to be patient.

If you have not had comprehensive PT since surgery, I suggest you ask your doctor to order it. Ask for a full PT evaluation of your body alignment, posture and gait, not just a routine "after hip" cookie cutter process.
Do you think the doc will do this?
