I had my left THR a year ago Feb. Everything went great after the operation,pain-free, quick recovery. Stayed off work almost 5 months ,my job requires being on my feet (concrete floor) 8-10 hours,working in a grocery store,doing a lot of lifting 15-50 lbs. and unloading skids from trucks.
I guess pain started at about 6 months, 2 weeks after a dental appointment for cleaning. I took antibiotics before hand. I complained to my doctor, blood work for infection and x-rays are all normal evrything looks good . I can walk and work all day ,anywhere , fairs swap meets ,work,with just an ache BUT if I sit down for 15 minutes and try to get back up the pain is now so bad I can barely stand on my hip, but in a short time, with pain ,once I walk 100 yards it starts to go away.Pain is front hip joint and rear lower butt back of hip joint . This pain starts evry time I get up from sitting ,sleeping. 6 months ago it was minor but now IT HURTS ! Just had blood work done again 4th time and xrays for 1 year visit. So today I went for a bone scan,hopefully this will give some answer. Range of motion is great I can do anything but BOY do I pay for it when I'm done. After a day of work ,all evening ,every time I get up it HURTS ! I can always feel it ,sitting sleeping standing It feels like a swolleness on the back side where you sit . Sorry so long ,my first time posting, Was searching the internet for some ideas. Was getting ready to try another doctor but will wait until I hear the results of bone scan. Thanks
