New pain

Posted , 7 users are following.

I had my second hip done April 18th my recovery seemed slow, at first then i went to stay with my daughter for a week and I felt I was coming on great as I was walking more and used stairs which was a challenge because I live in a bungalow. My daughter lives in Scotland which was a five hour journey by train, I had assistance. when I returned home I started having problems, I couldnt get out of bed one night because of terrible pain in groin area, I was unable to go to bed for a week i was using sofa with recliner, i ended up going to my doctor because my legs were very swollen so much fluid caused a huge water blister on my leg which has now burst, doctor gave me Naproxin for the pain and also meds to get rid of water, i lost almost a stone in a week. I have terrible pain when i get in and out of car, its a horrible burning pain going up the inside of my left leg into my groin. Its so painful that its made me shout out and have ended up in tears! its very scary i wondered if anyone else has experienced this? its only started a few days ago cant think what could have caused it? I am getting to the stage that I dread getting in the car it also happens when i am taking lower garments on and off! shoes and socks etc, not as bad as the car cant think why any ideas please?? I will have to call my doctor if it doesnt stop soon!

    Hi Cyndey,

    That sounds like terrible pain you are having.. I think you should most certainly be going to see your GP. You don't want to be suffering that terrible pain when they could offer something to help you.

    I hope you get some relief soon

    i just read your post Cyndey. i know the kind of pain you are experiencing. it is horrible. if it was better and then started this way, maybe you should call your surgeon. i did not have a total replacement like you, but I know the pain from the pinning. i wish you the best and hope you can get some help soon.
