Pain in thigh 5 months after THR

My pain episodes are less 10 months out from surgery but still occur. I have some PT exercises that are specific to the pain. They help. For me it's been a slow process of recovery taking much longer than expected but things are improving. Sometimes I need to rest and exercise less than I want.
I hope you are able to find some helpful answers and ease.

I am 5 months FHR Posterior , also it is cemented in. I am 75 years old. I have burning and soreness when I rub or bump it. I also have numbness in thigh. My knee clicks when I walk. And I do have sciatica from 3 lumbar fusions. Doc took x-rays a month ago and said all looks good. But my understanding is you can’t see if there’s an infection on X-ray. I worry about because I and an infected tooth that I had pulled 3 months out. Just wish I knew for sure. It would lighten the stress.

Thank you! I have read that for some people the pain never really goes away altogether. I consider my surgery to be a success because I can manage the pain whereas before surgery I was obsessed with pain.
