I am actually surprised that this is so prevalent. And saddened as well. I had a left partial hip replacement 2 years ago and have had this thigh and groin pain since the surgery. I am in the process of finding out the cause. Pretty sure it's not an infection now. Next step MRI in the hopes it shows something. I will post if anything sounds possible. I would like to share my steps so far. Xray of placement no change Bloodwork to ID poss. infection slightly elevated , nuclear med scan of hip and part of thigh, 2nd nuclear scan of thigh and pelvis. Bone scan. Arthrocentesis which where they aspirate from the joint to determine infection. Now an MRIwhich could take forever to get scheduled. Please share if anything has helped other than resting it. I am on a muscle relaxant and medical mj as I can't take pain meds. Until my next appointment and a diagnosis...
