Should I Be Concerned About Hip Pain Caused After Total Hip Replacement?

I experience sudden debilitating (it makes me double over , but is brief in duration) pain in the front of my left hip joint. I had a total hip replacement (LEFT) 11/2011. I do not have metal on metal, mine is ceramic by DePue-not sure of correct spelling. I do have spinal stenosis in the lumbar region L3-S1, I believe.
