Could Swollen Inner Thigh And Groin With Tight Muscles Mean Hernia?

I had a hip replacement 3 years ago. I ve experienced tightness this the muscle down the front of my thigh. My thigh is visibly swollen especially on the inner thigh, and I have swelling in my groin area on the right side. I ve seen my Ortho surgeon and the replacement is fine. He thinks I have a hernia. I ve had breast cancer (16 years ago). My concern is the swelling in the area of the lymph nodes.
