What Causes Constant Pain In The Thighs And Hips?
I had a R hip fracture 6 yrs ago & had a hip nailing but it wouldn t heal. 8 mo later I had an ORIF. No pain since until now. I have constant pain in the hip & pain down the front of my thigh with ambulation. The xray of the hip is negative. What is wrong?

Hello,
It can be a neuropathic pain following the surgery.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
In that case you might require an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
