Hi. I'm new to this sort of thing so bear with me. On Dec. 25 it will be six months since my total right hip replacement therapy. I'm 67 and moderately active. My healing progress was really great. I did wind up with a seroma which is slowly going down. My problem is my thigh hurts. It's not a sharp shooting pain but an ache. The pain runs from the side of my groin almost to the knee. Whatever it is it causes a weird sort of numb feeling down the rest of my operated leg. I do bend over a lot. Picking up this or that. I sleep either on my non operated side or my belly. My seroma keeps me from sleeping on my operated side. So just wondering if this is a sign of dislocation or loosening of the joint. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

Sorry...surgery not therapy

Hi @karon - Welcome to Connect! Congratulations on getting through the healing process and being moderately active! I haven't had a hip replacement - but I did have a total knee replacement. I'm don't feel like I have anywhere near the background to say whether your discomfort could be a sign of dislocation/joint loosening. I'm going to tag @JustinMcClanahan & @danl6 - maybe others may have had this kind of issue? Are you still doing PT?
