Hello - I had full hip replacement surgery on 3/11/16, over 18 months ago. My incision area is warm to the touch. I have pain in that area if you press it as you would a doorbell. I screamed when my doctor pushed on that area about 4 months ago. It was so painful that I literally cried right then. My entire outside left thigh (the leg the hip was replaced) is completely numb. I frequently have electrical stings/needle pricks on top of my left thigh. And, the upper portion of my left hip is very painful, literally 24/7. It hurts immensely when I bend over to pick something off the floor/ground and then raise up. I have little strength in my left leg, able to raise it 3-4 inches while laying down. I have had a CT scan, MRI, blood tests, xrays, 35 physical therapy appointments, etc. I saw a nerve doctor 4 weeks ago and he gave me a cortizone shot in the hip area near my groin 2 weeks ago. It has not relieved any pain or helped in any way. My doctor told me that he has performed over 2,000 hip replacement surgeries and has never encountered anything like this. He has told me at least 5 times that he has no idea what is wrong with me.
