Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

Hi, I had my hip replaced 2 years ago following a failed open reduction/internal fixation. I started having thigh pain like you describe alnost immediately after the THR. I have had x-rays, ultrasound and CT scan, and the only thing discovered was quadriceps strain and bursitis. I just had injection of the area of bursitis... which did seem to help a bit but not a great deal. My physio suggested that my replaced hip could have loosened. I am on Lyrica. Although this helped a lot in the beginning, it seems to be wearing off. Am off tomorrow for a 2nd surgical opinion. Can't go through life feeling like im being impaled when going up and down stairs. I wish you well. Hope you get sone answers. I know it's terribly frustrating to feel like you aren't getting the answers you need.

My name is Beryl....I have noticed there are 102 posts all about more or less the same thing ....sharp pain in the thigh after hip replacement and after investigation seems to be nothing wrong .....start to get together and find out why, you all have a common denominator ......have you all had the same type of replacement hip would be a good start......???

@carolg wow,, so sorry to hear you have been suffering for 2 years,, Please let us know how the the other drs opinion went.. I am hooping to find answers as well,, there are so many different views and opinions of what is wrong with us with this thigh pain. read some of the "opinions" on here and you will see what I am talking about.. I had a bone scan that showed "loosening".. You mentioned a "failed open reduction/internal fixation".. what is that..?? thanks for sharing and I hope you get some relief..
