| Groin Pain - 18 months after my third replacement
18 months after the 3rd hip arthroplasty, and the groin pain is getting worse....
The pain is episodic and sharp usually occurring with my first step or two and then subsiding.
Recently the pain also occurs when I sit for a long time especially if my thigh is flexed more than ninety degrees. I also have noted that I get a sharp stab of pain as I lower myself into a sitting position.
I have had multiple x-rays, a ct scan, and a bone scan all of which showed a well healed fracture and were otherwise normal. Both surgeons do not think that the prosthesis is loose and there are no signs or symptoms of infection. Neither surgeon has any idea as to the cause of this pain which is definitely getting worse.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
