hi I'm 8 days post op.....I just wanted to know has anyone else experienced a burning hot tightening in both thighs especially if maybe I've done a bit too much...I had this pre op and was on ibuprofen and presumed it was inflammation...I thought the op helped with the inflammation...the hip itself isn't too bad..?? I've stepped up my meds as I don't think I was taking enough and that helps but just wanted to know is this normal?

    Hi Linda! That burning sensation may be muscle spasms. Have your doc prescribe a muscle relaxer and see if that helps.
