I had "fast-track" THR 5 months ago, I originally presented with what I thought was a tear or severe strain in my upper, inner thigh groin area. After the THR I still have the original problem.
This has developed into a severe muscular pain in my upper thigh when standing up. It lasts for a minute or so before I can put my weight on my leg, doesn't hurt at all whilst sitting or standing. Consultant referred me for a scan 6 weeks ago but I'm still awaiting an appointment. Anyone had similar?
hi alex,
warm welcome to this wonderful hippies forum ..
Forgive me but I am not sure what "fast track" THR really is ... I looked it up and from what I understand is that you had THR surgery and were discharged 2 days post-op when normally one stays between 3-5 days ...
Is this the difference or is there more ...
did you get physical therapy during your stay - how about pain management - were you checked by surgeon post-op?
On first morning post-op an x-ray was taken to make sure hardware was placed correctly (I am assuming here) -
Did you see your consultant about this pain and is this when he referred you to get a scan?
Severe muscular pain does not sound too good -
please come back and let us know how you are getting on ...
big warm hug
renee
Iam 12 weeks out of left hip replacement no pain in hip but 3weeks ago thigh pain started but the pain is all the time. I was just at the Dr exray looks good for hip. He put me on pednazone for thigh pain if not better have to go back . He thinks it might be my back . Pain driving me nuts nothing helps. Good luck to you .
hugs...heating pad may helpmore than ice...sorry you have to wait so long
