Hi Alex, that is exactly where I get pain too, especially on the outside of the hip bone which can be quite sharp and unpleasant. I am 15 weeks post op and saw my consultant last week and he told me that the hip/scar pain is where the muscles were detached from the bone and then reattached (they have to drill holes into the bone to do this) and, especially in slim patients, who don't have much padding, this area can feel quite raw and sore. For me, walking and swimming aggravate it but it is getting a lot better. He said it will disappear but these things can take months. He reassured me it wasn't a 'dangerous' pain. Hope this helps.

i am not sure if I understand your post correctly - are you saying that when you carry stuff your pain goes away?
There is this big muscle around the hip that can cause some pain or discomfort, when you overdid it - at 8 weeks and walking with one stick since week 5 could you have walking with a limp or not in balance yet - 8 weeks is still early in this healing process -
just be mindful okay ....
great to hear how well you are doing otherwise ...
big warm hug
renee

I have that too sometimes ... so annoying, isn't it (the disappearing of text )
so thank you for your determination - no wonder you are doing so great -
A little reminder : this is not a regular muscle that you are training okay?
this one is healing after trauma was inflicted on it ...

If you are worried do go and see someone who can check properly and can xray just to be sure.
Limping definitely goes as soon as the muscle is back on form, so keep exercising and walking.
