Hello all, I’m 12 months post TRH replacement and have recently noticed a grinding noise in my hip when walking up stairs. I have no pain or discomfort, just this weird noise. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have heard that sometimes a ceramic joint implant can squeak

    Dear Happy21

    Do you know what materials the cup and ball uses in your prosthesis and if there were any reported issues at the time of your surgery!

    Cheers Richard

    Mine squeaks, usually when the weather is hot (on holiday), or I have been exerting myself.

    Grinding sounds bad, the ceramic may have cracked, if so you need to get it seen to immediately. frown

    Best wishes

    you should let the doctor know........ my hip does this but it has been in 31 years and is broken and worn out! lol........ maybe it's like a new car..... you have to break it in.... lol...... I know..... it's not funny but we must keep a sense of humor.

    I will pray for you and a good update!)
