I had left total hip replacement anterior approach 3 years ago. Within 4 months, I had 2 dislocations and a revision was done. Last year I had right hip replacement and fortunately no dislocation. But the last 6 months I’ve suffered with horrible thigh pain with it being a lot worse on left. After going through 3 surgeries, I have put this off as long as possible but decided tomorrow I’m calling to get in ASAP with my surgeon. I need answers! A part of me is a little excited to find that others are experiencing the same problem but I haven’t come across anyone that has received answers as to the cause. This is horrible and excruciating pain that changes your daily life. There has to be a solution and I’m saying lots of prayers that we all find one very soon. Good luck to everyone!
I’ve never heard of it not being cemented either until I read it here. I don’t know of another method used.
After my first hip replacement, a couple of weeks after being discharged from physical therapy, with no warning, the ball popped out of the socket which caused me to fall on it. I have to say that was the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. The least bit of movement was excruciating so getting on a stretcher and the ride was absolutely horrible. The X-rays were unbelievable showing my femur (ball end of stem) jammed up the side of hip socket due to the force and angle of fall. They sedated me, popped it back in place, had to wear full leg boot, and go through therapy again. Couple months later, it happened again. This time I had to stay in traction for a week just to hold it in place while decisions were made, adjustments figured out, and new hardware was ordered to do a complete revision. Go through therapy yet again. Even after this long, I’m still very paranoid it happens again. Then about a year ago I had my right hip done. I have an appt to go in a couple days so I’m praying big time for answers to this thigh pain. Someone on this thread mentioned injections. I’ll try anything not to have another procedure done.
My phone isn’t allowing me to flip to previous pages to read your initial post. What all have you tried to ease your pain and what worked the best for you? What does your doctor recommend?

She probably laughed because the statue of limitation has passed.(2years) Take a look at the movie on Netflix on medical devices n technology, its a joke!!!

I just want to pain to go away and it seems all they want to do is give u pain pill instead of fixing it but doctor didn't have any problem taking the money when surgery was over I keep trying to get a hold of him and his nurse says I have to go though pain management
Still wait to feel like a new man like I was told by doctor Joseph Dwyer he is supposed to be the best in the country but 2 yrs later here I am with just the same amount of pain if not more been then before I had it done
Here is the ridiculous part for all of us here,, These Dr's are not helping us..They dont want to admit there is something wrong,, They might have to fix their screw up.. I do believe the pain in the thigh is nerve related. There is still a lump at the top of my thigh where the pain is and is ohhhhhh so tender to touch.
There is also a few spots on the side by the hip bone meets your waist the feels like something sharp is in there so when you touch it,, its stabbing pain. The pain I have as I get up and have to wait for it to ( snap into place) --(I say that for lack of a better term-because I do not know what its doing), that pain is horrible. I had sciatic nerve pain before the surgery,, but it is worse now .. I am gaining weight because I am not as active as I was.. so I know that isnt helping... someone on here said " it sounds like a nerve".. Any one have more info on it,, is it a cut nerve,, pinched nerve,, damaged nerve.. where is the nerve that is effected??? Is there anything that can be done to find out if its a nerve,,?? grrrrr,, sorry just grabbing at straws here.. thanks for listening ,, just needed to vent,,
