Hello and welcome.
Do not worry about the payment, we are here to help one and all. As you do have insurance,I would recommend a visit to the ER for an x ray of the affected regions,especially the new hip which is now painful. I recommend this as at your age, bones are not as strong and can easily fracture. I am worried more about the replaced hip prosthesis being damaged to dislocated, so please do get an x ray done and consult a doctor in the same hospital/clinic with the x ray.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
