Hello all,
I am a 67 year old female and had a nasty fall 11 weeks ago. The fall was so bad that they had to do a total hip replacement. I have always been very fit walking miles at a time and love gardening. However I now find that I have a lot of pain at the top of my leg when I first get up and try to walk. Once I am on the move things are ok and I can walk for a little while. After that I have to stop and the pain starts again. Is this normal or should I be worried.
