I had left THR Nov 27 2018. I still have quite a bit of pain in my thigh on the front side.
I'm still taking Tramadol and Meloxicam. I don't go a day without this thigh pain and the heating pad is my best friend. Some times the pain is worse when I walk but sometimes it is not.
I had a slight fracture in my femur during surgery and it was cabled with a wire. I am going to see the surgeon tomorrow to make sure the fracture is not the issue. I have not been xrayed since week 2.
I was seeming to be on the right track although slow till I tried straight leg lifts while laying on my side at 7 weeks post op. I could barely lift my leg but I tried repeatedly. One day later I was in terrible pain and have been having issues ever since. I still have a limp at 12 weeks also.
Has anyone had theses issues with a femur fracture during surgery? I haven't found much info on the topic so I wondered if there is a connection.
