Four weeks in from my hip replacement I wake up after a couple of hours sleep with pain in groin with tingling sensation going down inside of leg it only seems to happen during the night if I get up and walk around it easies it but as soon as I get back into bed it starts again anybody else get this it is stopping me getting sleep. I take a couple of pain killers I have tried ice and heat any suggestions?

    I am at 6 weeks and all is well now. I did have quite a few "tweeks" and strange little niggles in my groin, leg, buttock, knee and ankle during the first couple of weeks but it's all settled down now. I get a clunking noise sometimes when I do upstairs or raise the leg in a particular way but I had an x-ray at my 6 weeks check up and everything is OK. My surgeon said it will gradually stop. I think part of the problem is that you've spent a long time walking and moving in an awkward way before you had your op. The whole spine and body has been out of line for ages and it all has to sort itself out now that you can move properly again. I'm sure it will settle down but it is worrying at the time. Good luck.
