Has anyone had sharp thigh pain after hip replacement

Well, the x-rays taken in mid March and mid May looked very good to my surgeon who told me I had done better than expected. I had soft bones and therefore he said my surgery was a bit more complicated. I have a cable and a screw showing up on my x-rays which was a surprise to me. At the moment my thigh is hurting. Hopefully that will go away in time. The funny thing is that my thigh does not bother me when I am on the treadmill. Go figure.

Like any part of us, nerves need a good blood supply to work normally. When you are on a treadmill you are increasing the blood flow to the painful area and hence get pain relief. I am a therapist and when we give patients a home program or tell an arthritic in pain to start moving, we not only mean it (we do know it hurts at first but that hurt will stop), but we know it will help. Keep using the treadmill. You are helping your body in more ways than one. Bravo!
