The fiery feeling when lying on the OP side you describe is exactly the feeling I had, like having a small bonfire inside my thigh. For me, it slowly subsides with time.
When sitting in a regular chair my groin starts to hurt. It's much better now a days, but sitting for a longer time, like at a dinner, still gets uncomfortable. Sitting in my Baden Baden doesn't hurt at all, in fact I've been using it since day 1
In the sofa I used, and still use, a big yoga pillow to put my leg on sitting, like, across the sofa. There's not much room left for my man, but he doesn't mind
I'm also familiar with the swelling, still have some, but my swelling is more all across the affected area. My OP side is still bigger then my non-OP side, but oh so slowly I think it's fading away. I will actually try some targeted massage next week hoping it will aid the circulation and swelling.
I also read about all those being able to run a marathon 3 month after surgery and there I was, still on crutches 8 weeks post-op. They might exist, but I bet they are oh so rare
What I've learned from this forum is 'your body, your healing journey'.
I know you are going through a hard time, I did as well. For me, I started to feel better when I completely got rid of the crutches. It felt like my life was returning and I was able to see some real progress.
It's a roller coaster but you will get there. Just remember to be gentle to yourself

I’m really relieved to hear that you sometimes forget that you have a new hip . I hope I will experience that to in the future . All the best ..
That really made me so frightened. Have anybody here experienced this kind of burning stitching pain under the scar. I mean I’m 7 weeks after surgery now..
I have tried tonight for the first time to lie on my operated site 
That didn’t work at all. I immediately had a felling like I had a fire inside of my scar.. I now I’m only 7 weeks post OP, but sometimes I read how people are almost doing everything after just 4 weeks with no pain and then I feel even worse.. I still cry a lot and I’m constantly afraid that something isn’t right .. What kind of pain do you have when you sit for a longer time I a normal chair? I also still have a swelling , like a soft lump beneath my scar that doesn’t go away.. It is so frustrating not being able to sit in the sofa watching a movie etc , without having to stand up and walk around every halb hour … Can you sit long in your Baden Baden?
I will try to set an alarm after 30 minutes and then walk a little bit around, mostly my scar or my burning in the swollen area is my alarm 
I had some days where I felt so good that I didn’t take any paracetamol, but the days are still rare and mostly I take 1-2 Tabletten twice a day, just not to experience to much pain … I wish I had come as far as you, but someday I will . I just want this burning feeling to disappear and I hope it will slowly go away.. All the best to you and thank you 
Exactly as you write, I offen feel like I am sitting on a rock or directly on my tight bone with no skin between … Totally wears and not nice .. The burning drives me crazy but I will try to ice more also when I sit .. I have a soft swelling at the lower part of my scar. Starts in the mittel and goes for 5 centimeters below the scar.. I hope that will go away, also because that really looks strange, you can even see that soft swelling wenn I wear trousers ..it’s on the outside of my thigh and in that swelling I think that burning is happening.. Have do I finde those old treads ? I would like to read them .
