    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    Hi Kim22, I am 2 years post op for a left total hip replacement (THR), anterior approach. Even before my THR I remember I had pain in my psoas, even a year or 2 before. Anyway, I kept going back to my doctor post op with this continued pain - he did a catscan and an MRI, and did not find...

    THR Can't do a straight leg lift, groin pain

    StaceyA, How are you doing these days? I hope better. I know that pain well. Hi, I have had the same problem with pain when trying to lift my leg (straight leg), or marching. Also, I had that excruciating pain initially when I did a straight leg lift earlier (some time after my THR - maybe...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Hi Everyone, I just want you all to know that my hip flexors seem to have finally relaxed, and I feel much, much better. I can lift my leg from a sitting position - so they are responding and working again (my hip flexors). So, after about 10 months post op, it is finally much better. I am...

    THR New hip, December 10

    Hi! Everyone has a different body and a different experience with hip surgery, so I can only speak from my limited experience. My hip area was pretty swollen immediately post op and for the first month, and was still swollen (but less so) months after my surgery. So I iced a lot and brought my...

    THR New hip, December 10

    Yes, remember that ice is your best friend right now. Please take it easy, and do not do anything that hurts. You sound like me, wanting to get back to exercise and lifting weights and for me, dancing. This is what I found out through my recovery: I found that I did not really know the...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Yes, this has been quite a debate but I agree we need to get back to the point. It is a matter of personal opinion and individual comfort in the end. I still hesitate but would consider if my doctor could suggest a chiropractor who is very, very good. BTW I am not going back to my orthopedic...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Thank you all so much for your helpful comments. I have decided to go to a sports medicine orthopedic MD that specializes in dance injuries, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, etc. I have taken a friend to see her, and she listened well and ultimately solved my friend's problem. I really liked her...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    I just wanted to pass this one on - if there could be only 1 piece of advice I could give to others that have a brand new hip (I am 10 months post op now), it would be to be sure to NOT do any exercises that are painful. Even of your PT tells you to do them. Even after you tell your PT it...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Hi Josephine, I cannot tell how many mg total of NSAID I am using. I know 1200 per day from the oral NSAID (ibuprofen), but I cannot tell the amount from the Pennsaid (topical NSAID). The label says "diclofenac sodium topical solution, 1.5% w/w. Each mL contains:Active ingredient: diclofenac...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Hi and thank you for responding, Josephine. Even though you explained, it is not clear to me how to tag you, so I hope this reply finds you. It hurts in 2 places and is sometimes swollen in a third - here goes: Position 1: 2L2 - I can tell that my adductors or some of my adductors are strained...

    THR 10 months post-op - Hip flexors hurt!

    Hi everyone, I am 10 months post op from an anterior approach left THR. Well, my hip flexors are hurting me A LOT. I thought I just kept overworking them at the gym (trying to get back into shape too soon). They hurt so much I actually went back to my surgeon at about 8 months post-op. He took...
