I am currently 77 years old, I had my right hip replaced in 2011, something went wrong - they had to redo the surgery on the right hip six weeks later. Approx 4 weeks after the 2nd surgery, I started experiencing sharp burning sensations and numbing in the thigh area. I went to the Doctor, xrays were taken but nothing was found to be wrong. 2 years later the pain had radiated and gotten worse down my right leg to the ankle and was affecting my back. They kept saying the implant was okay and they can find nothing wrong. It has now been 6 1/2 years, after numerous physical therapy sessions, Epidural steroid injections shots to my back to help the back pain, and being evaluated for Neuropathy, they say they still can't find anything "wrong". I have now developed venous insufficiency in my right leg and Feb 2018 underwent a procedure to freeze a vein. The right leg is extremely painful and the toes on my right foot are completely numb, 3 minutes of walking on the leg is all I can about manage at this time. Unfortunately, I have also damaged the L5 nerve in my back and am now getting ready to have back surgery on 21 Sep 2018 to correct the pinched nerve at the L5. But the Spinal Specialist stated that this will not fix the pain in the right leg - it will only stop the pain on the left side of my body and in my back. The Spinal Specialist recommended that I go back to the Doctor who did the surgery and have them look at the right leg again, but i go there every 3 months and they keep telling me "that there is nothing wrong".

I don't know what to do, has anyone else experienced this pain in the legs after a hip surgery, that burning sensation in the thigh area followed by a freezing numbness of the thigh area and toes with radiating pain? The pain is there when I am walking, lesser when I am sitting, and lying down but still present.
