What happens when the protocols are breached after THR that results i?

Posted by kitten701 @kitten701, 1 day ago

I had a right THR 6 years ago. 3 days post surgery, I accidentally leaned out over my lap, breaching the moving protocols following THR. A loud pop sounded accompanied by excruciating pain in the hip replaced. I mentioned to my surgeon on my initial surgical followup. "Let's wait and see" was the response from him. I healed well surgically; however, the groin pain continued.

Today, 6 years later, while a passenger of an automobile, the driver drove rapidly over a rather rough patch of pavement causing my hips to "rock exaggeratedly back and forth resulting in excruciating pain in my right hip. Now, my hip is tight when picking my leg up and pain extends down from my hip through my knee. What happened and can I do anything to mitigate my pain?
