Reason For Having Burning Pain And Uncomfortableness While Lying After Full Hip Replacement

I had a full hip replacement just over two years ago and recently I have been experiencing a burning pain and unable to get comfortable when lying on the side where I had the hip replacement. Have been working quite a bit so have been on my feet for long periods of time. Should I be worried or is rest all that is required?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

An ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION of the involved area or an MRI scan will establish the nature of pathology.

As you can have bursitis after the total hip replacement surgery, I suggest you to consult an Orthopedic surgeon (preferably a Joint replacement surgeon) for a detailed examination, workup and further management depending upon the nature of pathology.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
