So, I have, well had, avascular necrosis in both hips. The right one was definitely worse. I had a thr on Aug 30, 2016, it became infected and on Sept 12, 2016 the took most of the hardware out and replaced it. Now 10 weeks post op and I have a lot of upper thigh pain and numbness from the top of my thigh to my knee. Walking is painful and difficult. Feels like I am sitting on a roll of paper towels! Not looking forward to having the left one done, and will not ever let this doctor touch me again.

Brian...did you by chance take any medication for osteoporosis?
Twice I have dealt with osteo necrosis...intensely painful, infections that went on and on, long term repercussions.
Perhaps you will consider gel packs from the pharmacy..no ice, no leak, flat so kinder, hold cold longer...I would suggest medium rectangular, four so that two are freezing while two are out. Intense icing will help...hugs
