I am 42 and had a total knee replacement 4 weeks ago.I am now having such hip pain it hurts worse than my knee during therapy. Has this happened to anyone else. Also what did you do for it. I am icing both and putting heat in hip also. I'm on blood thinners for two more days , wondering if cortisone shot would help.

    Not sire as to the nature of your hop problem. I can only say in the last 4years ive had both my hips and knees done.  One thing I know is when your hip goes it goes. At the end of my pain it took everyhing yo lift my hip in and out of the car.  Knee pain can matifest in to hip pain very easily.  Have it x-rayed and youll have answers.  Remeber pain is a process we all go thru when it comes to joint replacement.

      Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. I am so sorry that you have had to experience pain and have had to have surgeries. I am going to see if my primary will order either and M.R.I. or an x-ray. You have been very encouraging and I thank you so very much! May you feel better! confused
