Suggest Treatment For Extreme Pain After THR

In 2006 I had a thr and subsequently had another surgery to the same hip due to excruciating pain in the groin, buttocks,thigh and where the incision is. I cannot sleep or perform daily chores. Driving and walking causes debilitating pain. The second surgery was to done to release a tendon and remove bursitis, I am still having the same pain. I had an MRI done 2 days ago and blood work. Both were normal. I have been taking vicodin for 2 wks.

Hi,

You hadn't mentioned the time of second surgery, type, site, duration and movements causing pain, these all are very important for a diagnosis. Most of the times pain in there occurs due to impingement due to inappropriate rotation of the components, though sometimes trochanteric bursitis may be cause it. Thigh pain occurs due to un-cemented prosthesis as well. Vicodin is simply a pain killer and is not curative. You need a thorough examination only then we can reach for a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
