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'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.
