@Josephine Hi, I hope I am posting a new post in the correct place.
I am now about 5months post op. I was doing fine. In the last two weeks I developed groin pain with an accompanying tight band on my top right thigh. I am depressed. I feel like this whole replacement is like a "mine field". I am still scared of indolent infection. I had my blood taken, whites and reds normal. My c-reactive was normal, my sed rate was slightly elevated 32. I am worried that the new groin pain is the beginning of the indolent infection trying to break through.
Talked to another OS and he said indolent infections can hide and not show up for years. I am concerned that this new groin pain (less than 1-2) may be the beginning.
As I posted in my other posts I had chills 8 weeks post surgery at night and no fever, went away next day. Again, one month later had severe chills at 4am in morning with 100.03 fever, went to pcp, given course of augmentin, had blood cultured (no bacteria).
Then , about a month ago in 60 degree weather got out of car and again had chills. This was in mountain area 6000 ft elevation which could account for it. That's three times chills but no bacteria but still never had them before. Do you have to worry about this infection thing 24/7?
I met with my OS and and I have GTB for sure not a problem, had it before I had THR. He DX me with tendinitis in the groin and thigh pain.
I was walking fine a month ago one hour a day, no limp, and going forward. Even was doing staitonary bike for 45 minutes.
Now I have this groin and thigh pain and I am going backward. I was told not to exercise, he RX, PT but for ultrasound , Iontopherises and Celebrex for 10 days. No walking or exercise.
Sorry to sound like a wuss, but this has been 5 months and I don't have the freedom to travel. Don't want to get stuck in third world country with a significant hip problem, worrying at each new development, groin and thigh pain, back on meds, no exercise. Sorry running on.
Please advise what this new groin and thigh pain is? It feels like my right leg is like a peg leg walking, stiff, heavy at thigh and "webbed " together with my groin.
After taking celebrex (100mg bid) for two days groin pain dissipates but my walking is not "free' like a month ago. The celebrex took away the groin pain but the right leg is stiff, heavy and has thigh band tightening around top of thigh
Josephine ..to pinpoint the band or pain in my thigh it is right where the "yellow dot "was on one of your posts with the "body" diagram , the pain is in the front of thigh where the femur ends (I think).
Josephine and others, please give me any of your thoughts on this new groin pain, indolent infection, tendinitis, therapies and actions I should try to get rid of the groin and thigh pain and walk "freely" again...thanks...
