What Does Severe Pain In The Left Thigh Indicate?

I have severe pain in my left mid thigh. It is not red or swollen. I can stand up and walk about ten steps then the pain is intense. I have to stop. Then I limp. I did have complete left hip replacement surgery. But that was 13 months ago. I have been working hard. I may have pulled a muscle recently at work. I am 56 year old male. My name is Robert

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Patients with cementless hip replacements may have thigh pain for 18 to 24 months after surgery, until the implant is securely locked in place by bone growth. The main long-term problems of joint replacements are wear of the socket or loosening of the components' attachment to the bone. Please consult an Orthopedic surgeon.
