I had a TRH replacement back in 2011 it was fine until 2013 when it popped out whilst getting up from sofa had it put back in under general with manipulation all was good until Saturday just gone when I bent forward in my garden chair when it popped out again had it put it again under general anaesthetic no surgery needed came home Monday with physical exercises to do but my groin feels it pinching any suggestions? Many thanks in advance it’s getting me down as to why it dislocated again XX

    Oh Wendy 30669 what an awful thing to happen. Has your hip been playing up before this. I had a total rhr in 2016 but up until six or so months ago it was still painful to bend it or if I moved awkwardly. However this is now ok. I've been told that I need my left hip done so at least I know what to expect. I hope you will be ok and hopefully this is the end if your problem

    Omg that sounds extremely painful. When mine got dislocated I wanted to literally die right than and there. Let alone have it happen twice. Sounds like you might have a pinched nerve 

    Good luck to you !

    Hi Wendy, I had pinching in groin, but only for about a week, regular pain relief, exercises and it went, so good luck .

    Once they pop，they seem to be more prone to popping again. My holiday insurance wanted to know how many times mine had popped， presumably because it indicates a bigger risk.

    The only things you can do is take extreme care， and strengthen the thigh muscles with lots of exercise.

    Wendy, that is really scary especially to us new hip replacement people. I would have thought your muscles would have been strong after two years to hold the hip. What reason was given for this happening after so long.

      Hi Wendy, that is the one thing I am scared off.... dislocation, my boss had her 2nd hip done a week before me and when she was 4 weeks post op she dislocated her hip, she msgd mewhilst on ambulance trolley, she was on the laughing gas but she said the pain was worst than before the op pain if you no what I mean, so I am very cautious of what I do,
