Hip pain and spasms after total knee replacement
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had a total knee replacement of the left knee and I am now 16 days post-op. The moment I woke up from anaesthetic I had terrible pain in my hip joint and cannot get rid of it. I alternate heat and ice, stretching, massaging and changing positions regularly but it is almost unbearable to sit. It is especially bad at night and I battle to get enough sleep. Sometimes the spasm moves into the thigh - mostly side and back of thigh. My knee is not a problem at all and I take short walks indoors troughout the day. Has anybody else experienced the same or has any advice?

I'm ten weeks post op and have pain everywhere in the leg apart from my knee. Dont think it has ever been as bad as your describing, maybe you need to get it checked out. Nights are always the worst and lack of sleep was and still is a problem for me. Mega stiffness in the morning too. But if I exercise gently before I get up out of bed its not quite as bad, nor is it as bad when I was at your stage.
Get the hip checked out and stay strong
