    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @Layla , @Mojo333 - Merry Christmas to both of you! Hope you have a great holiday and new year. I’m recovering well. I’m now doing 3.5 mile walks every other day and working hard on strengthening (within the constraints given me by my physical therapists). No pain other than a little muscle...

    THR Hipster63 on the other side .....

    @Hipster63, Just wanted to weigh in with my experience. I’m also having the clunking, murmuring noises coming from my hip. The noise comes when I do an extreme hyper flexion of the hip. I was told that it is not unusual in the first few months, especially for those of us with multiple...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @chalcedonian1 , good to hear you’re also doing well and continuing to progress. Yes, it’s really nice not having to deal with that daily, debilitating pain. I’m starting to believe I may be able to hike and climb again, though I still need to rebuild a lot of leg strength before attempting...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    Thank you @Layla, @Mojo333 ! Hope you also had a great Thanksgiving. I’m doing well. Now walking 2 miles every other day and doing slow, steady, progressive PT to increase muscle strength. I’m very impressed with the PT group I’m working with. I’ve always been one of those fools who...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    Thank you, @Layla . I feel like I’m progressing well. I’m walking regularly at about 1.5 miles every other day, doing some light physical and massage therapy targeting my psoas tendonitis. I’m anxious to start working on rebuilding strength in my legs, but I’m told still too early for that...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @Hipster63 Yes, Sam is the PT I’m seeing. He is very good... knowledgeable, conservative, and explains everything clearly. I am happy to be walking as much as I am, but I’m trying to be extra careful. I increase my distance only gradually and give myself a day of recovery in between walks...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @Josephine , “likely” is my characterization of LLD, not his. PT was unequivocal. When I wrote that I was in denial mode, hoping it might still be apparent and eventually disappear!:praying: I think I’ve moved to acceptance at this point, especially with your feedback that it shouldn’t...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    Went to my Physical Therapy assessment meeting yesterday. This PT was recommended by my revision surgeon and specializes in joint replacement. I was very impressed by his knowledge and approach. He did a very thorough assessment of my ROM and strength. He also confirmed what I suspected... I...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    A quick update for those who may be interested... I'm now just short of nine weeks post-op from my THR revision. Over the last two weeks I've seen a dramatic improvement. Swelling is way down, though still some residual on the outside of my hip and upper thigh. The IT band tightness is no...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @Josephine , thanks for the feedback! My experience with lateral thigh pain was after my first THR and subsequent loose stem. I thought that it was IT band. That’s what I was told by the OS and his nurse practitioner. I think it was, at least in part, because it was relieved (temporarily) by...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @Hipster63, It sounds like you're progressing really well, and quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if you're released from the NWB restrictions early, but don't do anything different from what the surgeon advises! Yes, I did the PT class at MH the day after my surgery and then again the following...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    @chalcedonian1 , I agree with you 100%. I am improving week by week and just a few short months ago this was the best case scenario I could have hoped for. What a blessing that the pace of recovery is my biggest complaint! I am grateful for that and am resolved not to do anything rash or...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    Yes, of course @Josephine. I've noted changes from last response in red. Let me know if there is additional new info you need. 1. Anterior (revision - all components except cup replaced, 20 Aug 2018) 2. Pain Levels Front of Hip: 0-2, aches a bit with use, very tolerable with meds Outside of...

    Revision THR Continuing thigh pain from failed osteointegration?<

    I'm now just about one month post op from my THR revision. I've just graduated from a walker to a cane, per my surgeon's instructions. First day of cane use resulted in some new stabbing pain in the groin and upper thigh, but by the second day, that was gone. I'm still nervous about the cane...
