Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

Hi there! My doctor has ordered a CT scan for this afternoon to rule out a fracture where the implant is. He's also sending me for PT (which I did not have after surgery) for 4 weeks and wants me to go back to using my walker for two weeks to balance out the weight. Because I'm favoring my left leg, my hip on the right side is hurting and we don't want to risk anything happening to that. I should know the results of the CT scan tomorrow.

Hi Lynn, This sounds exactly what's happening to me! I'm 56 & had left THR 6 weeks ago. I was walking fine without cane & feeling great but 2 weeks ago after doing some shopping, I had such severe pain I couldn't walk or move without excruciating pain from my thigh down to my knee. It seemed to feel better after I rested it for a few days, but by the afternoon I can barley get up or down to seated position, let alone walk unassisted. I had my 6 week appt. & x-ray yesterday & surgeon saw nothing & didn't really tell me anything it could be at all. Now I'm scared! I was(am) very active & this is very depressing! I have had no PT & am on nothing but Advil for pain. My replacement is uncemented & done posterior. I'm wondering if the peg is loose or???? I was hoping that it would feel better once the bone grows in but now (after 2 weeks of this pain) & having my Dr. say he sees no problem, I'm really worried,
