I had my right THR almost 2 years ago now and I'm still

In so much pain. I'm on oramorph, cocodamol and sometimes tramadol. I've had scans and X-rays they can't seem to find any problem yet I'm still in agony. They gave me a lumber spinal block injection on the 22nd December which failed also. Is here anyone else out there in the same boat as me I feel so frustrated I'm only 24. Thank you xx

    Omg sounds awful ! I am 5 months in still in bad pain . Can they do more sophisticated scans ? Certain types of scans are needed I believe . See another consultant ? You must feel butchered . Hope you get better one day x

    I had both hips replaced within 8 months in 2013/14 still in excruciating pain. They now diagnosed me with pelvic floor dysfunction it is all connected. Have you had PT? Chiropractor? What about massages, Accupuncture. I spend 85% on my bed ;-(( from being super active, dancing, horses. Don't give up, keep changing doctors. Sorry Georgia!! Where do you live? You had anterior or posterior hip surgery?🌻
