What Causes Intense Pain In The Right Groin Post Hip Replacement?

I have intense pain in my right groin. I had a total hip replacement in 2015. I saw my surgeon for a recheck a couple months ago. My X-ray looked fine. It that time the pain was on the outside of my hip so I got an epidural steroid injection. This is pin in a different area. Could it be muscular?

Hi,

The intense pain in right groin post hip replacement can be from certain nerve compression supplying the area or else. A detailed clinical examination, neurologic conditions of sensory and motor system and distal reflexes with or without high resolution MRI (which can be done with prosthesis in situ) are best possible guidelines at this point; rather than taking mere analgesic and prolonging recovery time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
