What to do about thigh pain after hip replacement, anterior approach?

I have had epiderals one after another telling me I should have no pain. It is difficult for me to even walk at times. I believe the orthopaedic surgeons I am seeing are protecting one another. Is it possible that I had severed nerves during the surgery. The pain I am experiencing has been continuous since the day of surgery which was 14 years ago. I've seen other surgeons; however, they all seem to have ties to my surgeon Vincent Cannestra.

Do you know the specific Brand and Model of both the Acetabular Cup and liner and the femur stem & ball?
Titanium is often used as the base, but other materials - metals, ceramic and polymer - are in/on some components. A few hip implants have been found to have unintentional adverse consequences like metal ions shedding. These do not necessarily show up on x-rays, and unexplained pain can long after surgery be a sign of a developing problem.
Maybe it's time to get the details and start investigating?
