Can someone give reassurance to my Hubble re his pain
Posted , 15 users are following.
hi, new to this forum. Hubble has been in terrific pain for last month and can hardly weight bear on his left leg. His pain is in his inner groin and goes down as far as his knee. His inner leg is also swollen. His X-ray shows severe osteoarthritis (all cartilege gone, bone on bone) and an MRI also shows aggressive arthritis and oedema. Consultant says that his femur is "angry" thus the pain.He is due for a THR on 18th April, but is nervous that the pain is not from his hip and that he'll still have the pain after the op. Has anyone else who is waiting for/ had a THR had similar symptoms.? Thanks very much for any response.

Same as everyone else really. I had pain in groin, front of thigh and knee. Also swelling below knee. This has all gone since my THR on 3 March.
Good luck to your hubby.

I thought the groin pain was initially a hernia!!
But alas my pain consultant (who i see for my back) said no it was the hip.
A diagnostic injection to the hip confirmed that was site of trouble and not my spine causing it (it does cause pain elsewhere).
The xrays and orthopaedic surgeon confirmed the OA of hip and my L THR is on April 11th.
Cannot wait to get better 😊
Hope you get sorted soon too xx

welcome to this forum ... your OH is lucky to have you - from now on you both have a whole new group of friends to whom you can talk, ask questions an share whatever you want to -
Amazing isn't it, that all that pain can be caused by a dysfunctonal hip...
"Angry" is so appropriate -
Don't hesitate to come back if you have any questions or concerns, okay
big warm hug to both
