Thigh wrap for after THR

Has anyone used a thigh wrap for the muscle soreness in thigh after THR? Almost 5 months since my THR and I'm still experiencing the twinges,etc. in the thigh. I know it will take time to heal. I manage with it.

I use a gel pack periodically to ease help with the discomfort. I found a Thigh Brace Wrap with Ice Gel Pack for Hot and Cold Therapy online that has velcro and can be used more easily that trying to keep the gel pack (in its cover) on my thigh.

    The gel pack is inserted in it and can be cold or hot. Wondering, too, if the compression on the thigh will help.

    Sounds like a good idea, keeping a gel pack in the right place is always so difficult.

    I had my THR in Oct 2015, and still get twinges etc .... much less often now, but they're still there to remind me.

      I don't mind the occasional twinges. Just hoping the numbness will eventually go away.
