Had my left hip replaced back in September of 2018 at the age of 26 due to severe arthritis. Had no issues recovering and it well, until now. The past 3 months I keep having what my surgeon told me tendonitis. He did an x ray and put my mind at ease telling me that it isn't infection, but tendonitis instesd. The symptoms seem to come and go each month. The symptoms include: Pain under the scar tissue (posterior) swelling under the scar tissue (feels like a hard bump) and also redness around the scar and warmth, tingling sensation, cold feeling sensation, very sensetive to the touch. Some of these symptoms are also a symptom of infection, hence why I went to confirm with the doctor. I don't have any discharge or high temperatures. It seems to trigger when i am sitting down for long periods of time. Icing does help keep the swelling down, but once I start walking again it seems to swell back up. It also only hurts when i sit or lay on the operated side. I was wondering if anyone else developed these symptoms 2 years after the surgery? I also have a picture of the scar, that shows redness and swelling around the area. Thank you for your replies in advance everyone! May we all stay healthy.
