I had a THR 13 years ago when I was 38. Has anyone on here had their hip come loose and what does it feel like? I have lived a relatively normal life raising my family and doing moderate exercise. 4 weeks ago I lifted a 36 lb box off the floor and have been experiencing pain ever since. It’s not concentrated to one spot... it’s in my groin area, my back, and my thigh. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
See a doctor. Heavy lifting can cause pain to different areas of your body.
Dear Kay
Sorry to hear of your pain. My take is that a thirty-six pound box should nog have had any impact on a well fixed hip but could well have caused you to have put your back out. If this had happened to me I would have made a trip to my chiropractor as I would have expected to have got it sorted or at least eliminated the possibility of my back having been out.
Good luck.

Hi Kay, I had this discomfort in the same areas last year after trying to hang heavy curtains and thought I’d damaged my replacement hip. Turned out it was a small ilingual hernia causing the pain, you need to get checked out asap, good luck and hope it turns out well for you.
