Hip replacement pain
I am a 62 year old who had a left hip replacement, I am going backwards with my healing. My left sciatic nerve was bothering me after the surgery, I was being treated by my PT, today I woke up with excruciating pain on top of my thigh. I do not understand why I am having nerve and muscle pain in my thigh and if it will go away? Did something go wrong during surgery that I don’t know about?

Could it be meralgia Paresthetica? Is your thigh numb as well? This happened to me after right hip replacement. The femoral nerve gets compressed.
@teachtee no I am not having numbness

As I said, I did. I was playing golf on day 28 post surgery.

Mine is radiculopathy after anterior THA. I had an EMG and have polyneuropathy in the leg and foot with surgery and radiculopathy as I think the surgeon caused L5 nerve damage or it was the boot on the Hana table.

If it is L5 you are looking at a neurosurgeon. I have an appointment with mine in a few hours.
