Can you expand on what type of pain your experiencing. I had a TLHR last October and most of the time I'm fine but if I do exert myself I suffer the day after with stiffness in my thigh and it takes me a while to get going when I stand from sitting. I'm working back in my community job, but I still don't feel 100% obviously not got the arthritic pain but some days I feel I swoped that for another ache be it not as painful. Hopefully as time passes it will get better, I'm 55 and some days feel 65 and don't seem to have the stamina I had before my op perhaps I need to do more exercise, it's just when I do it knackers me out for the day after,
Hope it not too bad your pain, I only take painkillers at nighttime before bed.

Thanks for replying! Â I had a L THR in January and I've had what I feel was a difficult recovery and although I'm 44 at times I've felt 104! Â
I was progressing and had started doing aqua aerobics and gym work. Â Suddenly 3-4 weeks ago I started getting a deep burning pain in my hip after walking for 1-2 minutes. I can potter around at home but if I walk out, I've timed it, by 3 minutes it's an intolerable pain and I get my walking stick out. It feels like the ball is rubbing in the socket. Â Plus I have back pain and sciatic pain down my op leg as I had a slipped disc last year, which I'm not sure I fully recovered from. I'm getting (what I hope) is referred knee pain as well. Â
The GPs at my surgery have told me rest but be active, exercise but don't overdo it! Up your pain meds and lastly use walking stick at home again.... That just feels like a step backwards. I have no choice but to up the meds and I've asked for a referral back to my surgeon and the physio again. The GPs having referred me for an X-ray in May that didn't show any tears or dislocation are now stumped.Â
Bleurgh..... Had to get THAT off my chest. SO disappointing to feel pain I hip still.
