    Hi

    i had my hip replacement in august and i still get the odd pain but nothing like before. apparently it can take a full year to feel the full affect.

    but your only at 4 weeks post op so just keep doing your exercises

    and gradually walking more and feel the pain disappear.

    also are you using cold and hot compresses?

    and when your 6 weeks get your butt in the pool!

    Hope this helps!

    take care
