Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

How long after surgery did this pain begin? If you were asked to point to the source of the pain, would it be the psoas and not the hip? Just curious because I went down the psoas path for six months with my surgeon, even got an injection in the tendon, so painful. Long story short, two years after my left THR, my second opinion surgeon suggested I had some type of sports hernia, which is the hardest to diagnose. He was right, I had two. I even remembered when I got them, it was in PT four weeks after surgery when my over aggressive therapist had me doing straight leg lifts. I had a sudden pain in the psoas region and never did PT again, couldn't. I was never told it could be a hernia, I just suffered in frustration. I'm doing pretty good now, hernia repaired last spring. Still have problems from time to time, can't over due it. When I say problems I mean some thigh and stem pain.

It has been constant. I have been in therapy 4 different times over 28 months and it’s not getting any better. That’s why I requested a second opinion and my surgeon said he wasn’t worried. I have been telling him every office visit how my leg felt and his reply was I do great work after looking at my ex rays. Frustrating!! After the injection the inflammation subsided but now it is a pain related. That’s when the new doctor ordered the MRI because the psoas muscle starts at the lower spin. He thinks it could be related to my issues. My 1st doctor told me that I will be back installing flooring in no time after surgery. I have done everything thing he has told me to do riding my bike working out in my pool and walking with no reilf .
