I'm ten weeks TRHP post-op and it is absolutely an emotional roller coaster. It does get better with time and is not unusual. I do sleep on my surgical side, no pain, just some discomfort.
Good luck and hang in there!

Just remember this is a long recovery. Everyone is different in how they recover. I'm 17 months TLHR (anterior). I had pain in my operated side thigh for a year. I'm still not pain free, but better off than i was before surgery. It's a long process...you just got a new body part.

i am nearly 7 weeks and start off ok in the morning but as the day goes on i develop quite bad pain behind my knee and in my thigh which makes walking very unpleasant .
not sure why ?

hi Susan try using bio oil on your scar to soften it. I also had that problem and someone in this site recommended it and it worked for me but occasionally I do get a bit of discomfort and I'm now six months on.

Google IT band. I was having similar pain that radiated from groin to hip to knee. Ask you doctor about it. Amazon does sell an IT Band Roller that may be helpful. They use it on me in PT and it loosens up the area that feels knotted.
Good luck,

yes!! very often this is IT Band or glut tendonitis. i find the surgeons don't get it like a good manual physio. acupuncture in the affected gluts solved this problem for me pre surgery. The leg pain was so bad i thought it was cancer but ended up being glut tendonitis. please pass the info along...knee, leg, thigh pain are often treatable when you figure out where the real problem is.
