Groin pain after THR
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, I have bilateral THR`s. One is 6 yrs old, the other almost 2 years. My newer one has always been causing pain in the groin. I mentioned it at my last appointment in September (a follow up from the older one dislocating for 2nd time), and the surgeon said it was probably psoas tendonitis. I have been doing physio exercises regularly, but the pain getting worse. Especially when lifting my leg or externally rotating eg getting in/out of the car. I need to left my leg with my hands as it hurts so much to do. I rang the hospital and told them the symptoms and am seeing the surgeon again in few weeks at my request. They said the cup may be a bit proud. i hope not! But it would explain the symptoms of a tearing feeling, catching etc.. I have been reading about causes of these symptoms and the psoas muscle does seem to fit. Has anyone had treatment for this? I ahve read about injections, psoas tendon release or even revisions.

So I have been doing physical therapy. She pushes with her thumb deep into the groin to help inflammation and the muscle is so tight This process hurts a lot.then she put warm moist heat on it.now I can lift this leg into the car with less pain also into the bed I can crosses it without help.
I'm now 8 months post op.
There is a cane called therma cane and it has round nobs on it and a curved handle.I use it to do the same pressure as she did.since PT ran out of time.Hope this helps
