Pain in thigh 5 months after THR
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Feb 26 10:15am | Replies (20)Comment receiving replies
I had a TKR 5 years ago and I complained of my thigh hurting. I kept telling the surgeon but he ignored it because as long as the original pain in my groin was gone he was satisfied. Then two years ago changed doctors and I found out I have bursitis in the hip that was replaced. Evidently it happens to about 30% of people that have THR.

I have bursitis in my hip also after surgery. I am 4 months out and starting to feel a little normal other than my bursitis which has calmed down somewhat. I am now able to play Pickleball!!

That makes sense. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis when I was about 50. That was 24 years ago. I took Bisphosphonates off and on for years but I didn’t like the negative things that I was reading about the side effects. Brittle bones? Why would I take a drug to strengthen my bones if a side effect was brittle bones. Anyway most likely I have arthritis in a few places now. I saw my after surgery x-rays and was shocked to see a screw and a cable in my hip replacement thingy.
