One Person Dead After Car Drives Into...
News0 min ago
A few days ago I suddenly got a pain from my groin to my knee, which feels like muscle strain. When I sit down, I can't lift my right foot off the floor. I've had a lot of knee problems, but this is new. My sister said this was exactly what happened to her and she needed a new hip. Do you know anyone who's had a hip replacement, and what their symptoms were? Or what this could be if it's not a dodgy hip?

Although I know pain in the groin is very often caused by hip joint wearing it wasn't the case for me.
I seemed to be ok one day, then suddenly my hip became very, very painful, virtually overnight.
Like many health problems no 2 people that same.
I hope your pain settles soon.
I've had a hip replacement. It started with discomfort/ pain in the hip and then I was just walking across the lawn and something (cartilage)just 'went' and the joint was bone on bone. The operation was successful but the same thing has happened to my knee on the same leg so I'm waiting for a replacement knee. They can't say how long the wait will be.......apart from months
I had a hip replacement in 2011. I'd had severe pain in the groin for quite some time and was convinced it was ligaments or some form of muscular complaint. It was very difficult driving, as it was in my right groin and I could barely move my foot from one pedal to the other. When I was told I needed a hip replacement I was totally shocked but I managed to get it done very quickly on the NHS as I had no underlying health problems. I was 63 at the time.
It all went well and I was back at work after 3 months and back playing golf after 4 months. But the initial diagnosis was a big shock, as I said.
First hip replacements are routine ops especially nowadays. I had my first two done 20+ years ago. Replaced one 7 years ago and been on crutches ever since. Not looking forward to when other will need replacing. They normally last about 15 years. The left one is now 23 years old.
Same as you clarionst, back to the gym within 3 months.
I slipped and thought I had pulled a groin muscle. Ended up at physio and she said that is a classic sign of problems with the hip which xray confirmed. I have had new hip for 14 months, for me the operation was great and fantastic to be out of pain. The worst bit, all the restrictions of movement while recovering - not being able to bend down, twist etc. Had to learn how to put on underwear with a grabber and shoe horn but all this was explained to me.
