7 Most Common Reasons For Hip Pain After Having A Hip Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- “I've had a hip replacement last June and I've had so much pain since... the pain is worse now then before I had the procedure. Sometimes when sitting it can feel like the pain works its way around and up to my lower back (on the side I had the replacement). Any ideas how to help with this pain? I'm in the UK. All my consultant has suggested is that he will refer me to the pain team at the hospital... It's like they're not interested at all now.” -GetMoreForYourCar - Bob
More hip pain after having gone through a hip replacement is one of the most frustrating things anyone has to deal with. The surgeon and patient are usually don't know what else to do when this happens. They just blame it on being old most of the time and give up to dealing with the pain. The hope is that at least the hip can move better than before the surgery, but what kind of quality of life does that really amount to if there is still lots of pain.
The reality is there is so much left to do. Most of the time, the root problem that led to hip arthritis has yet to be addressed. That is why there is continued pain.
Flip the situation on its head! If you had a hip replacement, then you don't have to worry about arthritis in the joint! Now you can focus on getting the muscles in balance around the hip so you can get out of pain.

I had a total hip replacement, I went home within a few hours of my surgery. Total life changing.
Yes...I had a great experience at the surgi center. Arrived at 5:45.....checked in brought back for prep at 6am surgery at 7pm. Awake in recovery at 8:30 had PT... short walk with the walker ...did the stairs steps then home mid morning. Up and walking every hour after I slept for about one hour.
I'm having a total hip replacement (anterior) in 2 weeks! I'm sorry I watched this video. I have never read so many negative comments and problems anywhere else. I have exercised and lived with horrible pain for 8 years. I am ready to take a long walk. I'm thin and healthy and working hard on all the pre-op exercises. I'm going to think positive and work hard on my recovery. Good luck to all of you with these horrible outcomes.
I just had anterior surgery a week ago feeling better every day I do have lower back pain but I’m sure it will go away
Let me know how it goes
Take heart! Hip replacement surgery has a very high rate of success. I had an anterior hip replacement done on Feb. 1 here in Canada. The surgeon was / is excellent. My hip feels strong and normal now though I will go easy for a while yet. Used a walker for a few days, then a cane for a week or 2 but don't need it now. I still get quite tired but that is entirely normal. I did exercises from this channel, with a lot of emphasis on glute strengthening, before the surgery, and I'm sure it helped - now I'm getting back to it (my other hip will need replacement at some point too). For me, anyway, I had no real issues with pain (I do have a high pain threshold), and took just an NSAID for a couple weeks, then tylenol arthritis but not taking that anymore.
My friend just had hip replacement surgery and was back at work in 2 weeks. Had some pain for just 2 days
Had a walker for just a few days
Used cane for 3 weeks
She said this was the best thing for her
She was in excruciating pain for years before deciding to get it done
She said keep a positive attitude attitude try to do a little walking and light exercises drink a lot of water before surgery and you will be fine
Plus get a good support system around you
Hope this helps
FYI, just make sure your surgeon has good reviews. I had mine a month ago and so far so good. Good luck to you.😊

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Oh, thank. I got my second hip replacement 2 months ago . It's tuff. Phisiotherapy at home and outpatient is not very helpful just a waste of money. I found exercises on UA-cam from week 1st and .........later. I so appreciate people who help us so professionally and are free .
Due to a car wreck in 2011, on my right side I have bolts that go through the S.I. joint. The right hip I've had replaced on the 13th of this month.
What sorts of problems might you see this causing being also that this joint couldn't move because the bolts are holding it steady.
My pelvis had been described as "crushed" hence reconstruction of it in 2011, after the car accident.
The doctor had told my brother that he had had to go through some of the old hardware to perform this replacement.
Great information! I had my left hip replaced just one year ago and right one 5 months ago. I’d say that I have a few of the issues mentioned, a bit of nerve pain down left leg, I think maybe bursitis on right side and tight IT bands which I am working on. But I can honestly say that these are just niggles compared to the arthritic pain I was in beforehand. The arthritis progressed very quickly, over 2 years. The elation of having the 1st one done didn’t last too long as the 2nd one went from bad to worse. I was pretty much disabled. The pain controlled my life. No amount of painkillers touched it. So now I am exercising and active and enjoying life again. The 1st couple of weeks after surgery were the worst for pain. I found sleeping on my back the hardest. And it’s only this last couple of weeks that I’ve been able to walk up stairs properly rather than one leg at a time, so I know that I’m still healing. It can take up to 18 months for all the tissue and muscles to settle back down. I personally could not have gone on without the surgery and I would recommend it to anyone if they need to have it done.
Same here. My experience is the same.
I am from South Carolina. I just had my 4th hip replacement this time they did a total replacement. I am going to keep watching your video. You sound very great.I have osteoporosis and have lost 2 inches in my height gone from 5’6” to 5’4” and still getting shorter. Is this normal. Thank you for your knowledge
I am from Australia. I have had my right hip done 7 weeks ago. It is going well so far and am having the other one done in August. Valda
Thank you for your good information about hip replacement and to make exercise .

I'm an Aussie living in Malaysia. I'm day 2 post THR wont be home for another couple mainly cos of a bleed, & subsequent drop in Hb & BP. Finally was able to walk today - it was harder than I thought it wld be. Drain came out tonight so i know I'll be better again tomorrow. Great to see this so can preempt Q's if i get any more pain. Its hard cos i really had little/no pain or disability until an "almost fall" a week ago. Great info.
Hi Cheryl! Greetings from Texas! 🇲🇾🇦🇺🧡 We are thrilled to hear that you found the information helpful.
Recovering from a total hip replacement can be challenging, especially in the initial days following the procedure. It's understandable that walking on day 2 post-surgery was harder than anticipated. However, it's great to see that you were able to walk today, and we hope that each day brings further improvement for you.
It's common to experience fluctuations in pain and discomfort during the recovery process, and it's good to hear that you're staying proactive by preempting any potential questions or concerns. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's instructions, take it easy, and allow yourself the necessary time to heal.

I have foot drop after my sciatic nerves was sutured leaving me with severe pain for past twelve Yeats .FOOT DROP IS SHEER NEGLIGENCE - Sue them. I have just had my second hip done 12 days ago which took some courage but all,seems well. Having foot drop in one leg makes the the operated leg work extra hard . I wish you well, foot drop is very tricky.
Good info thanks from the Netherlands 😊

@El Paso Manuel Physical Therapy
I am now 11 weeks out from a posterior left hip replacemand. The problem that I described in my previous comment is not so prevalent anymore however now I have this occasional 'popping' feeling, for lack of a better description. If I had to give an analogy I would describe it as though you were trying to open a tightened jar lid where it doesn't want to move and after a couple of tries, it 'pops'. I've had an X-ray and an ultrasound. And the doctor has said that all of the hardware is completely intact so I'm thinking that it's just the muscles that are rolling over and they haven't quite become strong enough yet or maybe they're still trying to attach to the bone ? But I don't know if i'm crazy for thinking this. I'd like to know your thoughts on this please.
I had my left -hip replacement surgery 9 days ago, surgery in the morning came home the same day in early evening. Went the first 2 days at home w/o my pain meds. Yikes was not a happy camper. On top of that I'm recovering at home by myself, nearby neighbors help with mail pick-up. Thank God for grocery delivery! Am going to take my time in recovery. Thx for your video.
How are you doing now?
elouise from connecticut
excellant info. my first replacement was good at first went back to next day but then 4 weeks later ended up with a staff infection and had to put a bigger ball in because of slipage. then four weeks after dislocated new hip and twisted . now on ther mend and have diffrent doctor much better for other hip, thankyou for your info.
Was it anterior approach or posterior?
One THR 2012 and heterotopic bone growth in last 4 years which causes much movement pain and restricted flexiblity. Does this abnormal growth often happen so long after surgery?
I appreciate you so much. In the UK and Ireland you get no information! Just got my hip replacement done in Spain... I had a pin in my femur which had to be removed.... was really surprised when the surgeon told me that the clip in my knee was broken and he needed a tool to remove it! I 've been watching you for a while and you've helped me tremendously 🙏🏻
4 days post surgery I'm still in serious pain 😣 working on the muscles though and have a special folder for your videos.
Ofcourse you would still of been in serious pain 4 days post op! You had just had a major surgery 🤦🏻♀️🙈
Hi from Australia thank you for your information, very helpful. Had both my hips Re replaced due to faulty originals. How unlucky. Cheers & thank you
Hi doctor, I'm Virginia from Hong Kong's,your information's help me a lot on my knees, thank you,

I'm from Australia, I've had my Right hip replace in Feb this year, great results best thing ive done and I'm going back in tomorrow to get my left hip done
This is great to hear Jody! We wish you the absolute best health through your upcoming left hip replacement tomorrow.
After 4 months post-surgery I still cannot sleep on that side without aching. I also have SI joint pain after walking for 3 miles. People act like hip replacement is no big deal, but it is. I've never been a back sleeper, but that's the only way I can sleep without pain when I get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't had it done.
Me, too
I know what you mean
How were you before surgery? Could you walk 3 miles? I couldn't before mine, can now.
If you were able to do 3 mile walks at the time, surgery probably wasn't your only option left. I could barely do the grocery store for 20 minutes before mine.
@@kervet6046 I was walking two miles and doing everything I needed to do. However, now my other hip needs to be replaced because I can barely walk. When I do, I use a cane. My surgery is September 11. I tried a cortisone shot, but it did nothing.

Hi from west coast Scotland,I'm going for total hip replacement (Left )after perthes since childhood,and 3cm femur difference,I also had l5s1 fusion with cage, 2 yrs ago because of L5-S1 nerve compression where it exits spine,on left side same sides as perthes,never had any childhood operation for perthes,so first operation,Surgeon said he is not going to correct length,due to possible issue's with L5-S1 nerve,like drop foot,any ideas of any other things I should ask surgeon before the hip surgery,thanks.
Diane from SA cape town, why is my knee hurting after hip replacement surgery? Thanks
Just had a hip replacement and doing great . What are the precautions that i need to take . What about continuing physcio
Good information from mayoral nc
My orthopedic surgeon diagnosed and I had hip replacement surgery. It still hurts so now I'm being referred to a back specialist. It's very frustrating, and scary, since I don't want to have surgery again. Is this common?
You mentioned in the video that there are several injections that you can get before surgery. I got a cortisone injection with X-ray and it didn’t work. Can you tell me what the other injections are?
I had a second hip surgery just a month ago and have healed quickly...the hip feels great! I had the other one done three years ago and because I did not know what to expect it was different. But I am happy to say key is get up and walk thats how you heal. I walked unaided in my home two days after my surgery and used a cane for one week walking outside. Wàlk as much as you can but key to healing don't jeopardize your new hip with twisting, reaching or sleeping without pillows. My friend set her healing back by two weeks from just one active day of house cleaning and shopping...too much to soon!
Thanks for your reply I have had two hip replacements in the last six months ,the last one being three weeks ago. My first one still has bursitis,and that’s why I asked you what to do. Thank you again.

Vicki from Vancouver, Canada. Had anterIor THR 2 mos. Ago and feeling great with that hip but now the knees are a bit achy and have groin pain on opposite side, would Chiro adjustment help, I have had PT
I ended up with hypertrophy of the TFL. I'm a year out from surgery still dealing with this muscle imbalance. 😢
Hi, thank you for this video. Please tell me why, i'm having so much pain on the front and the inside of my leg. I had a fall, but everything was fine! It's been four monthe now, why so much pain? :(
Hi from Newport Beach, California. I’ve had a THR about 18 months ago, anterior approach, non cemented, computer assisted. Post op great, walked right away, never took pain meds except for advil for about 2 days. Unfortunately the pain in my groin area never went away. I am a very active person (personal trainer). Any suggestions as to what am I dealing with? Or is this normal? Thank you in advance.
I have had 2 hip replacements in the last 6 months, 3 months apart. Both were at Ambulatory Surgery Center and I went home 4-5 hours after surgery. I did fine. I had a home health care worker overnight the first night and first a few days.
I went home the same day and never had help. Bought a walker, but gave it away.
OMG! I have searched and searched for answers for several years. You just popped up on UA-cam and have described several of my issues to a tee. I subscribed and liked, and will be viewing this video again. I am certain I have the outer hip bursa issue. As well as an alignment problem. Now I just have to find treatment.
THR 2016 left anterior. 2018 right posterior. 100% on the right side. Nothing but trouble on the left.
Thanks for this. Helped a lot.
Hey @grannykatnewx7898, so sorry to hear about the issues you have been having with your hip! We are glad that you have found our videos helpful and would love to hear an update in the future if our advice has helped you! :-)
Will the SI joint pain go away or am I stuck having this forever??
Thankyou. Very informative and reassuring. I get a lot of pain in I bend after being up for a few hrs. I exercise x2 day. Ive noticed pain comes after Ive been up, side a bit swollen - I think Ive just being overdoing it or may be mussel imbalance. Ill research exercises more, make sure doing them right. Thanks very much. Hi from Australia. 🇦🇺 Xx

Ed from Maine, USA
I had my LEFT hip done Anterior non cemented pressure fit with 2 screws in socket. The ball was completely gone and lost 3" of length. NOW my RIGHT hip is almost useless after carrying the load for years so my new hip is trying to teach the muscles what to do on the left . My LEFT hip is also bad and needs to be replaced.
Any suggestions on what to do ? PT makes things worse !
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve watched a number of your videos and commented previously on another one. Your information is invaluable. I am a 35 year veteran of occupational therapy however, having a hip replacement oneself is a whole ‘nother ball game. I also had previous micro surgery on my lumbar and sacral spine, mild congenital scoliosis (which I didn’t learn about until about 2006) and SI instability from a previous fall down 5 steps on my butt w/ tx pending for that. I was always in really good shape until my back surgery and then there were about six years that I became deconditioned however, before my hip surgery I was working out approximately five days a week or trying to, and had been for > year and a half to two years. I’m so glad you talked about the muscle imbalance because I was utilizing compensatory strategies for years just for mobility, which really threw things out of whack. Currently my ITB is a problem and I also have quite a bit of difficulty doing SLR’s AG. I’m told that’s pretty normal. I live in a small town so the availability of good therapy is hard to come by and I appreciate being able to tune in here with you. Thank you so much for any additional input you can offer. At 67 and 4 wks post R THR (home same day and vomiting from hydrocodone so only had Tylenol first cpl days until I worked something out - Tylenol not enough lol); coming along one day at a time, one step at a time. Thanks again.
It has been more than 50ty day since my THR & I am have terrible SI joint pain!
What can I do to get rid of this pain?
I am going to PT, but I want something that will get my muscles back to being strong again so I can B free of this SI joint pain.
Please let me know what PT might B best.
I was thinking doing Reverse Blood Flow Restrictions, which may help get my muscles stronger.
I had a Lateral rear hip surgery because the surgeon uses robotics.
Should I have gone for anterior instead which isn't done well with robotics..
So I was o.k. doing it from the side rear..
Now I wonder if too many muscles & ligaments were cut & now I am dumbed to have SI joints for ever..
I am in Kalamazoo Michigan. Need both hips replaced, Hip Hip Hurray! Thanks for the information.

I had Dr kokmeyer on Turwill lane. Bronson orthopedics. He is highly recommended.
Mine was Oct 2023. Great success with Dr kokmeyer
Had hip replacement two weeks ago and was not told any of this by surgeon. I suggest that anyone approaching hip or knee replacement watch these videos. I learned a lot , some too late, by watching these now. Also watched ones about using a walker, a cane, transferring into bed, and useful tools for getting dressed - especially if you don't have help at home.
Really good discussion. But sounds like doctors are not giving good follow-up care after surgeries.
I've had both hips replaced, and both were same day where I walked up the stairs when I got home same day ( up with the good, down with the bad). The first was 4 years ago. This last one was 4 weeks ago. So far so good, but the recovery has been a little different this time. Thanks for the helpful info!
Me too

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I'm only 55yo. I have since learned that there were more complications (bleeding out, drug resistance since my body doesn't metabolize a few drugs like oxycodone - it only makes me itch and has zero pain relief for me) with the first, but there was more bruising with the last (but we have discovered that dilodid is better than oxy. Too much red-haired genes). Like children, each surgery is different. I'm a fan of outpatient hip replacement surgery for those of us who are younger and in decent shape. We get moving more quickly, which helps recovery. I'm playing golf tomorrow. 🙂
Why am i experiencing pain in my groin area.
Toy from Utah
Just found your video - you've provided some very good information! I had a total hip replacement about 7 years ago and it went well - glad I did it! The one question that I have is "total range of movement after a THR". I'm still having trouble crossing the THR side compared to the non-THR side. Also, when laying on my back with the non-THR side I can bring my knee all the way up to my chest but the THR kind of locks up with my knee about 6 to 8 inches from my chest. Is that normal?
Hey @suzuki06g! Wohoooo!! We are so glad to hear your surgery went well!! To answer your question: Some loss of range of motion is pretty normal after a hip replacement. This can be temporary, depending on the situation. Our suggestion is to keep on strengthening your body in order to improve and regain your mobility as much as possible. Here is a playlist with all of our videos on hip replacement help:

I’m from Dundee, Scotland and had my total hip posterior surgery 8 weeks ago but still have swelling that is noticeable when compared to my other hip is this normal ?and how long will it take for the swelling to lessen/subside - appreciate your advice, Anne
Good video, I had posterior approach full hip replacement 7 weeks ago and have weakness and pain lifting my leg, the pain is in my groin area, the doctor said it was hip flexor inflammation, was wondering if this is common with posterior approach and how long will this last, the doc said come back in a year! And if it’s no better they would give some sort of injection?
You rock, please talk about revisions someday with the hip replacements. I just had my fourth revision on the same side 😢
Sounds like it’s time for a replacement
Dr adviced my son that underwent double hip pin suggery to drop the two cruthes after about 3months , we observed that even though he dropped the clutches, sometimes I see him Walk with a walking stick , I asked why do you do that, he said that some times he experiences pain and thats why he used the walking stick at that time.Thanks for your valuable information.
I had sucsessful Left hiprelacement 7 months ago, but now I have Right lateral hip pain. Could this also mean I need a 2nd Hip replacement? My left hip pain was in the groin, but now it's a lateral pain R side💁♀️
I need a right hip replacement surgery. Totally frightened.
Had my left hip replaced 10 years ago when I was 40, posterior approach. After a few months I was back doing karate. Had my right hip replaced 3 weeks ago, ok during the day but agony at night. The walking is slower this time around too...but I'll get there. The first few weeks are the toughest.
Hi, I've had my hip replacement done 5yrs ago and ended worse than before a limp, pain, hardware feels odd and nerve damage. Running went out the door. Walking for long hrs painful Anything that I can do?.
I'm from Houston, TX

I am from the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand. I have learnt more from watching your video than the Drs have told me. I have osteo and have had 3 hip replacements. First because of Osteo second one was also due to Osteo but the third one was due to a fall and dislodged the stem of the hip top and bottom. Now I am getting pain in the first hip again and am going for xrays. With pinched nerve or muscle imbalance or bursitis or tendonitis or IT will a chiropractor be able to help with these problems if not who do I go too to help fix these things? Or can I look up exercises I can do at home for these areas? Thanks again for your video.
I am 5 weeks into my surgery. I feel it was beneficial but I have pelvic pain and climbing stairs upward creates pain. Also have IT band issues and it sometimes burns, sensitive to touch
Maureen from Chicago. It is two weeks since my hip surgery. I am transitioning from a Walker to cane. I’m I on track with healing.?
I hear you
Hey May, thank you for checking in!
Bored lmao just had my right hip. Last week. Hopefully a great recovery. Thanks for info.
Hi Gabriel, we hope that your recovery is going well!
Hi I'm English but live in France I've had a double hip replacement and with my second one on the left side which was just over a year ago, I have pain on that side when I'm in bed but as soon as I'm awake and up the pain goes but thru the night the pain wakes me! Regards Alyson
Many pillows and sleeping pills
Is there anything we can do at home for this hip bursitis that we have that I have?
3 week post op. Doing well. Had to lengthen the leg about an inch. Most of my pain is in the lower quad and knee. But, i feel im doing great for the amount of time.
I am 6 weeks PO from THR. I was in the hospital for 4 days and have been on a walker/crutches for 6 weeks now.Trying to transition to a cane but it's very hard. I can not seem to put all my weight on the leg. I also can not do a straight leg left from laying flat. I know there is something wrong with my ITBand since the pain is stabbing on my outer side knee area and runs up to the hip. My LCFN is totally numb still. Dr was not happy with my progress and looked over my xrays and everything is in place. Should I ask for a MRI? Could there be something torn like a tendon or another nerve? After how long PO should I be really worried and seek a second Dr for help? I am doing PT 2X week.
Just had a right hip replacement. The immediate pain was awful. Didn’t sleep first night, right leg was just really sore. I made the mistake of watching all these ‘walked in 1 day’ videos on UA-cam so it’s taken me by surprise. I didn’t get the op until 4pm, so I didn’t get any physio until the next day. Feels just sore, bruised, but swelling has I feel gone down. Eased off a little but day 3 and I’m unsure if I can do exercises In this pain.
From the UK
Watching from South Africa. Had a hip replacement 7 weeks ago, still recovering. So far so good!
Hi. Did your pain completely disappear?
Donna from St. PETERSBURG FL. I had posterior hip replacement 1 week ago. I realize that-'s not very long. But I have pain in the back of my lower back groin. Is this normal?
I had hip replacement 7 weeks ago. I went home the same day, posterior right hip replacement. My biggest issue, after the first three days has been my hip flexor problem and IT band tightness. I am working with PT and getting my IT band rolled out which has helped after building muscle. Using a leg assist band helped with the flexor weakness. I finally feel like progress is being made.
Had my hip replacement yesterday. Agony this morning, like a muscle spasm getting back into bed. Never known pain like it. Hopefully it’ll be onwards and upwards tomoz.
How are you today? All the best.
Keep moving slowly, the motion helps and early bed exercises.
The leg will swell, so elevate it, with few pillows under the leg every time when sleeping.
That way the blood and liquid flows back and reduces the swelling.
have IT band pain after hip replacement, would ART (active release technique) help? thanks!
Had my left hip replaced 5 years ago, I play golf 2 or 3 times per week but reduced to once a week due to hip pain. X-rays show nothing but the pain is real and familiar...any ideas. Marvin...Chester Va
