I just joined and I'm happy to find out I'm not alone with this pain on my thigh after an anterior hip replacement. Had I known that Gabapentin is almost the same as Lyrica, I should have taken the leftover of Gabapentin from a previous prescription. Copay for Lyrica is atrocious. I had my surgery 4 weeks ago and I know its too soon to complain about the pains. I hope it goes away soon so I could walk faster and longer without any pain. God bless us all.
