I had right hip replacement 5 years ago. Not a lot of pain after surgery. However, in the last two years pain, not in my groin where is was before surgery, but in my side hip and down my thigh. I have 15 inside stairs in my house and have trouble going up and down now. We thought it was bursitis and I have had a few injections into that site. It helped for awhile but not anymore. I just had an MRI last week and have a zoom with my ortho tomorrow. From what I could figure out in reading the MRI my implant looks fine. It's getting hard for me to stand when sitting also hurts if I lay on my side. I had read that 30% of people having hip replacement do get bursitis. The results didn't say anything about my bursa. I am full of osteoarthritis so maybe it's that. Also grabbing at straws here but my cardio changed my statins a few months ago so also wondering if that could be the cause.
