Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

Hello, I have followed all posts since June 2018, as I needed THR, and was so concerned regarding all the issues, which were not addressed by the surgeons in a meaningful way. Research indicates that the Conformis Hip addresses many of the issues of misalignment, as the device uses 3D printing to make a custom fit for patient. I found a surgeon using Conformis Hip, and surgery is soon. I will post my experience to help inform on the device, as I am saddened by everyone's suffering when by all accounts of THR WAS TO BE THE SOLUTION, NOT MORE PAIN.

@marthaellen I have a Conformis knee, done by Dr. Fitz, one of the developers of the Conformis knee. I had no idea they did hips also, not having a need for that. I cannot say enough good about my knee and about Dr. Fitz. When I had my first appointment with him and was in the inner waiting room there were people from all over the country there to see him. One, obviously well-heeled couple, actually bought a condo in MA because they knew they would be using him a lot! The hospital he does most of his TKRs in is Faulkner which is associated with Brigham and Women's in Boston. It was an incredible hospital, 162 private rooms, meals brought to the patients individually after being ordered by calling the kitchen. I felt like I was in a Beverly Hills hospital. The food was actually good too!
