Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

@frister . Great reply. The card I'm talking about is a wallet size card and tells you whether the prosthesis is cemented or uncemented. It also gives you the product name and serial numbers. It was provided to me by my surgeon. On discharge from the hospital. Hope that helps. The second opinion I had last week told me that I may have had a neuroma develop when they cut through the nerves and muscles. Getting another CT scan done, yipeeee. A little tired of scans now. @marthaellen try not to be too frightened. If you think of all the replacement surgeries done world wide, there aren't really that many failures. I wish you well.

Maybe a good start would be to investigate what the implant , as lioness suggested , is made of and do some research into what problems ,if any, these particular metals have.....Beryl

@eleanor1. Hi Eleanor, hope that's your name. I am so sorry for what you are going through. It's been 3 years for me. I have been diagnosed with neuropathy, for which Lyrica has been a big help. I have also been told that my CT scan is normal. However, I know my body and I feel like I'm being impaled going up and down stairs. I had the injections last week and in return my blood pressure and blood sugar increased. I wish you well. I was told that the pain I had in my non surgical leg was because I was protecting the hip replacement side and putting more stress on the other side. Hope that makes sense. I found that the pain clinic people just want to inject me...I can't get the answers I need toes in my . People around me are getting a little tired of hearing me whine about the pain in my hip. I hope your surgery goes very well and you get relief.

I so appreciate everyone's encouraging imput, have done much research on physicians and the implant material, as suggested by all, and Frister, thanks for that mention of you being the #11 on the surgery schedule!! That was an eye opening for me to mention to the surgeon, as through this "decision making process", I have become bolder in conversations with physicians, I now feel more courage, thanks to everyone, and more knowledgeable, reading these comments everyday. God Bless us all in these unsettling conditions. Martha

TY for responding to my post. My surgery was 6 years ago, and did the same thing you are doing now - I was protecting the right leg (which was painful) and putting stress on the left leg to the point that I now have a compressed disc (pinched nerve on the left side in my spine at the L5) which is why the spinal specialist said he can only correct the left side and the surgery will do nothing for the right leg. My Doctor put me on Cymbalta, and It made me so sick - i refused to take it - and since I can't take NSAID's I don't take anything at all for the pain. Don't stop complaining someone will listen hopefully sooner than later - I didn't stop and if I survive this surgery I will be back at the hospital bothering the Ortho Doctor again until he fixes this right leg.... Don't give up....

I refused to take it too because of the long term side effects that NEVER go away! My gastroenterologist then recommended Iberogast. I just found out my son who is 51 has this disease too. Does anyone know if it is hereditary?

@suemer I am not sure what disease you are referring to.Please comment about this that your son now has. thanks ,, just wanting to understand.
