What Causes Pain After Hip Pinning Surgery ?

I had a hip pinning surgery 6 weeks ago and at last check up one week ago all restrictions were lifted and surgeon said I was able to use that leg again and I had very little pain . one week later I am in excruciating pain with that same hip and unable to put any weight on that same leg/ Un fortunately my insurance no longer covers me under my current plan . What went wrong with the pinning? The X-ray taken last week looked fine the Surgeon said.

Hello,

I have studied your case .
There can be cartilage injury which can be seen on MRI.
Another possibility of infection post pinning leading to pain.

Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulphate.
For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help.
Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help
