Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Had hip replacement on 9/13/16. Recovery went well until December 2016. Pain near my groin area where the hip was replaced. Went to my surgeon, did x rays, no issues. Gave me Meloxicam and the pain went away in two days. Took the the Meloxicam for the past two months and now the pain has returned just as bad. Can there be some other issue other than my hip. Going on vacation in two weeks and can barely walk.
The pain in the hip after a hip replacement can be due to a muscle spasm, scarring or a loose implant. You need a proper examination and CT scan to find the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal,
Orthopedic Surgeon
