Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

I have experienced the same stabbing pain in the thigh approx. at location of the femoral implant base (end). The orthos have concluded that a revision is not warranted as it would a) be a big deal clam-shell tthing and b) wouldn't make an improvement. So I tried PT, etc. etc. injections, whatever - no change. It really seems to be positional, and is definitely influenced by any loads I may be carrying. Walking is no fun. It feels like the pain is under the band around the lower third of the thigh. Ranges from stabbing to dull ache to ouch to whatever. Compounded with cramps.
All in all the THR seems like it was a really bad idea, Did not expect this outcome at all.
SO much fun!
THR was > 5 years ago.
Right side, posterior
Age 64
Stryker Accolade implant

I am so sorry for your disappointing outcome. After 5 years too! That’s a long time to suffer. Have you sought another opinion on a revision surgery?
It’s no fun alright and so far from what I expected too. I posted a long response below, maybe it’s too much info for members to digest.

Hi @armplinker - Welcome to Connect. I have not had a hip replaced - just both knees, but there are lots of people here who have experience with that. I am so sorry to hear about the stabbing pain you are having. I'm sure it affects everything you do. Have you had the same level of pain for all 5 years or has it gotten worse?
