Suggest Remedy For Intense Pain In Hip Even With Light Strain After Hip Replacement Surgery

Thanks,Firstly,I had Hip replacement. in2004. Now retired, not as much exercise as in earlier years,this pain started some 4 months ago and becomes intense after any, even light strain such as lifting or even walking.I have seldom had much pain ,but find this a dam nuisance(. During pre hip -op I had great relief from Celebrex ) .Naturally I suspect another hip-op but hope you can suggest something less 'in my face'.

Before redoing surgery you can try other measures as well. First get a repeat X ray. This will show if there is loosening of implant or any metal reaction. IF implant is well positioned than there is no need of surgery. You can take medication.If pain is very severe, arthroscopy surgery is also helpful.
