Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

I’ve been away tending to a death in the family and unable to post. I’ve had to look all this up myself too. It’s a real thing but I felt alone because no one validated what I was suffering until I found a new orthopedic surgeon who is acknowledging it and s willing to do a revision. It’s a nightmare. I am SO reluctant to undergo a revision, although I know I have to :(. It will be two years in August from my surgery but I can’t walk very far without feeling like I have a knife stabbing me in the thigh. I’m worse than before the THA. Much more needs to be known about this, I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating. Surgeons need to get this out in the open and warn us of this particular potential complication. My thoughts are with all of you who are experiencing this thigh pain.

I too have upper thigh pain after my THR one year ago. My last post on my condition was Dec. 11, 2018. My surgeon (now recently retired) kept saying that “x-rays look good, just keep up the PT”. Well, my new Ortho doc has taken my situation a little more seriously. He scheduled a CT Scan and an aspiration. Aspiration results were negative (no infection, thank God). The CT Scan showed that the stem and ball prostheses look good and bonding well to the femur, BUT there was a 8mm gap at one point where the socket prosthesis should be bonding to the pelvis. Result: a new operation (partial HR) to replace the socket prosthesis (only) is scheduled for October. Anyone else have something similar?

P.S. I am referring to end of stem thigh pain after a total hip replacement. Did I post this in the correct place? Sorry if I made a mistake.
