Hi@johnboy2323
Just want to say welcome to the group. Looking at your story I would have the dr do a aspiration (draw fluid from hip) for infection. My husband had the problem with pain in his left leg after his left hip was replaced in Jan 2015. They did a aspiration and found he had a infection. He had the hip removed a spacer put in and was on 6 wks iv antibiotics. The spacer is in for 3 months. He now goes in Jan 31st for his new hip. Try asking the Dr to do that. Hope it helps.

Hi @johnboy2323 - First Welcome to Connect. I'm glad you came to this group - we have lots of caring people who share their experiences and support each other through all kinds of difficulties. I have not had a THR - my knees are my problem and I'm scheduled for a 2nd knee replacement next month. I'm going to tag some people who I think have had hip issues. Maybe @katepitt, @klouis, @beatricefay, or @mariemotte could share some insight about what they've dealt with. Is your pain sporadic or fairly constant? I'm also wondering if the doctor talked to you at all about pain management? I'm wishing you the vert best outcome. It must be terribly frustrating to still be having pain 3 years later.
