I'm 15 months out and my op leg still feels achy or sore at times. For a while at around 6-7 months it felt sore every day all day for no apparent reason. Not painful, nothing that kept me from sleeping or activities, just an ache that was there if I looked for it but was easy to ignore otherwise.
These days the soreness comes back with some activities...most recently the other day because I cleaned the oven. Again, there when aware but not distracting.
Do you know about all the yankin' and crankin' and sawing and pounding that our leg goes through for THR? No wonder they are sore for a long time! It's not just the bone...all the strong muscles, ligaments and tendons are assaulted.
It sounds to me like you're causing yourself some anxiety over your body's normal response to surgical insult and subsequent stress via your activities.
If you don't have pain, your ROM is good, and you're able to participate in somewhat strenuous activities, you're doing well. The lingering aftereffects of surgery will go away in their own time. They don't follow rules or timetables or charts. You can't will them away.
What if you only tapped, smacked, or whacked your leg once a week or every 10 days, or even monthly? Sometimes day to day changes aren't noticeable, but we see a difference week to week or month to month.
As a side note, I've had femoral cutaneous neuropathy for 40 years. It can be bothersome because of the weird sensations, but it doesn't affect strength or mobility. My doctor prescribed Lyrica which relieved it when it was giving me extra grief a while back.
Best wishes for continued improvement and a great recovery.
