7 Most Common Reasons For Hip Pain After Having A Hip Replacement

[@Dragonfly-spirit]

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.

[@kchilz32]

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

[@kchilz32]

Let me know how it goes

[@CatrionaRuadh7]

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.

[@patriciahairston5382]

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

[@loriprihoda8731]

FYI, just make sure your surgeon has good reviews. I had mine a month ago and so far so good. Good luck to you.😊

[@suebennett9347]

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.

[@pgbrown12084]

Thanks so much for this video! I learned a lot. Im 5 weeks post-surgery (posterior), and i am so happy i got the replacement. Its night and day. I went from very limited motion (Perthes Disease) to a full range of motion. In all directions. To be frank, the first 2-3 weeks absolutely suck! But it WILL get better. Please don't let negative comments get to you. You deserve a better quality of life.

[@hobbitdogs]

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.

[@salharo8925]

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.

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.

[@shelaughs185]

@@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. 🙂

[@tracyk3007]

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.

Hi, great video...I'm from the UK had a total hip replacement as i developed really bad arthritis in the hips due to 30+ years of playing sports.. Anyway, I had my operation at 10.30am and was home the same day around 4pm after being able to walk up and down several flights of stairs at the hospital... The recovery after the first couple of weeks was tough and painful (especially after the hospital meds had worn off). I managed to do my exercises 3 times a day which was really tough, but if you can control the pain and keep up to your pain management meds when needed you will definitely reap the rewards...

[@intensivemanagement]

How much pain and how long after surgery?

[@jeffhampton2767]

Why on Earth would you walk up and down several flights of steps right after surgery. Does not seem very smart.

[@RyanC741]

​@@jeffhampton2767That's the norm in the UK, the hospital is desperate to free up beds. The physio will check you can do stairs ect and if you can there is a good chance they'll send you home.

[@GiantsMcg]

​@@jeffhampton2767it was part of the instant recovery procedure at tbe hospital... They try to get you walking up and down a flight of stairs with your walking aids before you can be discharged, so there's definitely method in the madness

With suffering from osteoarthritis pain over 5 years with IT band and hip flexors tightness to the point they feel frozen, I am now 2 months after the first one. I am dealing with the same muscle issue which I knew I would have. Before surgery, I had pain going down to knee and outside lower leg to the ankle. That pain was gone after the surgery. Then as I work at the computer, I sat 3-4 hours straight and getting up from the chair was stiff and painful and I got the same pain again. So I know my pain comes from the muscle. The problem is that I am in so much pain on other side that I’m not able to walk or do exercises right now. I am having the other side done next week. So I am hopeful that I’m able to do more to correct the muscle problem after that.

I had both hips replaced. 8 months apart. My First replacement took a lot of stress during healing of the second replacement. Within 4 weeks I developed bursitis in the first hip replacement and strained my glute muscle in same leg. After about 3 weeks of painful bursitis it has finally calmed down. Now that first replacement is so much weaker and it is painful to put weight on it when walking. I had my surgeon take an X-ray and confirm mechanically it’s okay. His suggestion was more side hip flexor exercises and stationary bike and elliptical machine. Your video was immensely helpful, especially relating to bursitis.

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.

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 arthroplasty several months ago. It was done laterally/posterior. Therefore I had the added pain of more cut muscles and nerves than an anterior approach. Solid 10 level pain for a whole month! My surgeon was a doll and refilled my oxycodone for four weeks. Wow. No one can prepare you mentally for that level pain for that long. They send ya home day 2 but truly one should stay at least a week in hospital. I came home all incontinent and pissing everywhere. It was messy. You got to have someone at home that will do nurse duties. Now, three months later, I cannot sleep on my right side. It’s tender to the touch. Although I can walk well. And I’ve returned to the gym for some biking and swimming. But wow, it still hurts externally. I’ve got an appointment with my ortho in several weeks. My biggest fear is reopening it for revisions or bc of infection.

[@aprilapril2]

How you doing now?

[@bondjane007]

I’m having Pain to and I’m in my second are going on my third month. And I had the same procedure you had with robotics. I understand to have that lateral posterior do you have to have it with a robotics for the best results but of course more things are cut by going from that position and it takes longer to heal. I’m still in pain. I don’t have the answer but I don’t think it’s infection I’m sure your doctor would’ve caught that. I hope you’re getting some relief my doctor does three month. My doctor has not prescribed any pain meds I’m getting through my regular Pain doctor for other pain but my surgeon has not given me any pain meds at all. I decided to stick with my Pain doctor because I’ve already been established with him for a couple years for other Pain. I hope you’re getting better and I hope you find out what’s causing your pain.

I'm getting back to the range of motion I described in my original comment....it's slow going, but the surgeon said some people it takes twice as long to get to where I'm at.

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.

This is Jd from Ruidoso. I am 8 weeks post total hip replacement. The surgery was a breeze for me.

@@robertmart7123 I went to physical therapy for a month and walking my dog every day for 20 minutes. Pain is almost gone.

Keep doing your exercises and check with your Dr. I am 8 months out and still have a little bit of discomfort but it is getting better thank God. I hope you experience a faster healing.

I had both hips replaced in 2014 and 2015. The second surgery on the left hip did not seem to heal as well as the other, causing some pain with walking. Over the years since the pain worsened and X-rays revealed a broken upper trochanter bone. My new orthopedic surgeon shook his head and said nothing could be done! I am now using a cane and seeking another opinion in hopes of finding a solution to the pain and the limping. I am now 72 and know of no injury or possible cause for the broken trochanter bone.

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?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

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.

I just had my right hip replaced due to OA last May 23. After studying n researching all about the different approaches I opted for anterior which is considered minimally invasive. I was able to find the best doctor here in Kuwait n I couldn’t be happier. Staying 5 days in the hospital helped a lot with the pain management with a morphine next to me😅but actually avoided using it except when I had difficulty sleeping. I told my dr. I don’t want to come out here addicted. He laughed n said it’s very very low dosage. The pain started 2 days after the surgery when the anesthesia wore off. It’s when I woke up n got up in the morning. However it wasn’t 10. Maybe 6. It’s just for a few minutes. Same day of surgery I did PT already 2X a day. After 5 days I went home n it’s only the first night that I felt pain. I didn’t even use my walker at home only the cane. First thing I did was cooked😅 After 2 weeks I started driving but b4 that I was already going to supermarket, mall m Resto. Thank God everything went perfectly well. This morning I went to see my dr to thank him for a job well done n said goodbye as I am traveling back to Philippines on Friday. My scar is also healing well. I did 12 PT sessions here n will continue them in my country. Nurses n medical staff in the hospitals were surprised n happy to see me up n about saying I didn’t look like I did surgery. I am 67 n doing the other hip after few months. I recommend the anterior approach cause it has less recovery period n less pain as well based on others I knew who did the same. Good luck to all of us who are in this journey. In short I have no complaint whatsoever.

I had my hip replacement three weeks ago, August 27th, 2024. PT came in 2-3 times per week for two weeks. I was actually up and walking without a walker or cane on day five. On that day I went outside for a short walk with my PT person and felt great. I was going up and down the stairs (14 of them) a few times a day, one step at a time like they recommended. But then, and it seems like out of no where, I got this pain in my front thigh area. Bad enough where I needed to use both a walker and a cane. I am icing the area several times a day which helps. I can't find any articles or explanations why this is happening with the exception of one which says: because of the metal part that goes into your femur isn't cemented in, until your bone grows into it it can move around a bit and that can be the cause of the pain. Anyone else have this happen or have you heard of this happening?

Hey Stephen, thanks for your support! So sorry to hear about your hip replacement. Although your joint has already been operated, there is going to be certain weaknesses inherent to the time you had to take off of exercising and a possible muscle imbalance. It's hard to tell exactly without knowing your specific case, but a safe bet would be to begin working on fixing your underlying imbalance.
