hi

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical examination is advised.

This pain can be due to either of the factors - the overstrain of the inguinal ligament , muscular spasm or nerve impingement.

As you had TKR and now the same side getting pain makes me think that it is more of a muscular pain, as the biomechanics of the joint above the replacement and below will be changes leading to muscle spasm due to over application of conscious weight.

Undergoing physical therapy and stretching of the hip flexors should make you ease of the pain.
