    I just started PT last week and have my second appointment today. The PT had me doing some stretching exercises and beginning core work. She said she's not convinced it's the psoas muscle and that my muscles are very tight in my hip and thigh. I'll keep my fingers crossed that time, exercise...

    I was finally able to get in to see my doctor. He isn't convinced it's my psoas muscle because my pain didn't go away after a cortisone shot. Doesn't want to do anything more invasive until at least a year after my hip replacement. So he gave me a prescription for Dyclofenac which is an...

    I didn't feel any effects from the cortisone shot but that could be because I had fallen on my hip a couple of days before and was sore all over and also hurt my back. I may have to repeat the shot when things settle down. Prior to the shot the pain from the psoas was increasing little by...

    My doctor wants to see me next month to determine if the cortisone shot I got a few days ago worked. The snapping pain occurred a few days after the shot. He stated he wants to try conservative methods before thinking about a release. The pain in my psoas muscle has continued to increase since...

    Hello Hip4life and Layla - Thank you so much for your responses. I'm going to rest, take pain meds and ice this weekend and see how I feel and call my doctor on Monday. It seems I have similar symptoms to you and the pain is very intense! How did you resolve your snapping hip syndrome? I've...

    Over the weekend I was helping carry a cargo box while walking backwards. I know now that was dumb! I tripped and fell right on my hip on the concrete full force! I was so shocked and the first thing I thought was uh-oh there goes my hip replacement. I called my doctor the next day and he sent...

    Layla, It's been a while since I posted about my right hip replacement. My progress has been ok with some setbacks with pain in the groin/upper thigh area. When I try to do leg lifts the pain is very uncomfortable and the doctor said to avoid exercises that bother me for now. Stretching my leg...

    I’m 5 weeks post op and seem to be having increased pain in and around the joint area. I stopped taking pain meds about 3 weeks ago because they upset my stomach and at that time the pain wasn’t too bad. I just started taking ibuprofen and Tylenol and they’re not too effective. In addition both...

    The tape on my incision sometimes itches but not too bad. The doctor will remove it on Wednesday. The skin has an airtight waterproof attachment to the tape, I think it will be hard to remove! As long as the surgery was successful I won’t be too worried about a scar. A small pink pen line isn’t...
