However, if it is serious enough get someone to take you to A&E.

Is the area around the scar hot to the touch and do you have a fever? If you do have a fever, get yourself to A&E.

I am pre op, so don't really have any experience ofpost op problems, but it does rather sound as though you shoujld talk to your GP or surgeon. The thing is, that when I spoke to my surgeon on Monday, he verified what I had thought - my leg on the bad hip side of my body is shorter than the other. Ths is not unusual, as we are made i two halves. You say that you have had both hips done, this may explain some of the discomfort as one or other leg may now be shorter than the other, putting additional pressure on the most recent operation.
If this is the case, your surgeon can verify this for you, and there are shoe inserts that you can buy on well known online websites that will raise the shorter leg to the correct length,
You may have overdone things, too. Lifting heavy items and not following your healing regime properly. There are a lot of possiblities that need to be looked at before you start to panic and worry that something has gone wrong..
