Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

Hi! My name is Susan and I had a left total hip done about 6 years ago and never have had any problems. This past January, I had my right hip done with problems from day one. Pain very excruciating and with several visits to my surgeon. He told me that I had sciatica. I'm an RN, working on a neuroscience floor and I knew it wasn't sciatica. He did an x-ray and said everything looked great. I knew there was something wrong so I asked him for a second opinion. I had another surgeon from his practice see me. He looked at the x-ray taken a few weeks prior by the other surgeon. He said that I needed surgery ASAP as I had a fractured femur. So the following week I had a right hip revision. Everything was good until two weeks ago where I started having right thigh pain. This is now worsening where I need a cane. Now my groin is hurting. I did some grocery shopping today and I had the hardest time getting into my car to drive home. My thigh and groin hurt so badly I was crying. I finally got my leg in the car. I left the groceries in the car and made it to my bed. I have taken Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Excedrin Migraine. Nothing touches this pain. I'm almost afraid to call my surgeon because I'm afraid he's going to tell me that this is a normal condition post-op and just go home and rest. My husband is really concerned as well so I will make an appointment tomorrow. My problem with some doctors is that they don't listen to their patients. We know our body better than anyone, right? Well, I just needed to vent to people who are in the same boat as I am. I appreciate anyone listening. Thank you.

Yes I had it in2016 doctor told when I would be a new man, well 2yrs later still have pain at the stem makes it hard to get out of a chair or get out of bed, once I am up I can walk but the pain is getting like it was before, and believe me before this hip was replaced doctor had me on 6 perk 10mg pills a day made it hard to work but then after the displacement he said it just would take time, but today the pain is just like before surgery my wife in the morning is going to call the doctor that perform it to make an appointment he was supposed to be the best in the country he was the Steelers foot ball team top surgeon that's why we went with him. Sorry for the long text but I also had to vent this is crazy thanks for listening anyone h ave any thoughts please let me know thanks again

I had left total hip replacement anterior approach 3 years ago. Within 4 months, I had 2 dislocations and a revision was done. Last year I had right hip replacement and fortunately no dislocation. But the last 6 months I’ve suffered with horrible thigh pain with it being a lot worse on left. After going through 3 surgeries, I have put this off as long as possible but decided tomorrow I’m calling to get in ASAP with my surgeon. I need answers! A part of me is a little excited to find that others are experiencing the same problem but I haven’t come across anyone that has received answers as to the cause. This is horrible and excruciating pain that changes your daily life. There has to be a solution and I’m saying lots of prayers that we all find one very soon. Good luck to everyone!

Still wait to feel like a new man like I was told by doctor Joseph Dwyer he is supposed to be the best in the country but 2 yrs later here I am with just the same amount of pain if not more been then before I had it done
