Brief Answer:
Can be a muscular pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The intermittent thigh pain that you are feeling can be a muscular pain or due to loosening of the implant. This can also be related to osteoporosis. You need to get this examined and get an X-ray done to find the exact cause. The treatment will then depend on the cause.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
