Muscle pain around my hip replacements

I had a double hip replacement in Aug 2022 / Dec 2022. I have been VERY careful to not put any strain on the hip. I was doing a sitting dip machine and had too much weight on and I used my thighs to pull myself into position (2 rollers that hold you in place in a sitting position) to push down the weight ... I know, dumb. The muscles where the thigh rollers pressed against are inflamed (it was 3 days ago) and sore. I can put full weight on the legs, no popping, and no thigh pain ... just swelling on the outside / front part of thighs. I asked my nurse who helped me after my hips were done and he said 'the joint will not give you issues ... it'll be the surrounding ligaments, muscles, and tendons and if you have damaged the joint, you would be in terrible pain'. So I think I am ok, but I just wanted to post this. Thanks!
