Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

One of my friends had this happen and found out that the replacement was rubbing against a ligament causing the pain. She had the ligament clipped and then had to relearn to walk using only the surrounding muscles but the pain went away and she is doing fine now. It took about 2 years to diagnose, treat and do PT to strengthen her walking ability. Maybe have your medical team do an MRI or CT scan to if something might be impinging on the replacement device?

I had my last visit to the surgeon in mid May. He said that full recovery would take 18-24 months and that I was doing better than expected. I am walking almost completely normally now and I can manage the type of pain I am experiencing in my thigh. If it takes nearly two years for everything to settle down then I will just wait to see what happens. I have a follow-up a year from now and if it still bothers me I will most certainly bring it up. Thanks for the info.
