Hi everyone
I’ve had a left anterior THR and am in my 3rd week of recovery. I’ve basically been pain free and able to move around really well until yesterday. I had a strange painful twisting feeling either in my hip joint or thigh muscle, I couldn’t tell which. My left thigh and hip became painful after this and I was afraid that I was not going to be able to walk. After taking small test steps on crutches I was able to walk okay but pain is still there. It seems to get more painful getting in and out of bed and sitting. At first I thought my hip was dislocating and got really frightened.
I am now scared to move in case it is dislocating and not sure what is going on. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thank you.
