Left hip pain and groin 3 years after posterior total hip replacement

One year later, a similar experience, and every doctor wants to treat things differently. I have the pain but also peroneal nerve damage was caused during surgery, and drop foot. Every doctor wants to do something different but nothing's worked. I waited 3 months to see a neurologist and his solution: Lyrica!!! I saw a pain specialist and his solution: nerve block, that lasted 36 hours. Finally, I've made an app't to see the head of the L.A. Nerve Institute, and also to see a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai... I have researched till I am at my wits' end... Stay tuned for results of the Cedars-Sinai app'ts in the next 14 days...

I totally empathize with you and your situation. I had a nerve study done on the exact condition you described. I have the muscle strength, just not the sensory. There is really nothing you can do to make it right. Any surgery procedure would be risky and possibly make the situation worse. I’ve learned to accept what I have, stop looking for a miracle cure, and live my life as well as I can with what I have.

I'm back with my left hip pain, leg and foot pain. I had anterior THA and now I'm seeing a chiropractor for the hips going out of joint. My left leg is very painful and the knee aches. She thinks I may need an insert in the shoe as one leg could be shorter. I talk to my GP but she doesn't refer me for any further testing. I don't want to see the ortho who did the surgery, but I would go back to that clinic and see someone else but not him. The pain is so bad I wish I could cut my leg off!! Any suggestions from anyone. Thank you.
