Hip replacement

[bestmum]

I had a total hip replacement nearly 2 years ago. I am 45 years of age and at first i didnt have much pain, but in the last six months have been suffering again and the pain is worse than it was before the op.Do i need to up my pain medication or see my doctor? I asked at my gps if they knew what type of joint the used but they had no idea. Apparently there is a problem with some of the joints, do i have to go back and see my consultant to get the info i need. Also what types of exercise or ok to do after hip replacement. Is Zumba a step too far. TIA

Just take the pain killers and get referred straight back to the Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon.

so far as exercise best to wait until the joint is reassessed otherwise swimming so long as you use a straight leg kick rather than the frog kick is supposed to be safest

Up date on my Hip replacement pain. I went to my gp yesterday and has said i could be suffering with trochanteric bursitis. The are going to try a joint injection of steroids, so hopefully that will help my pain. thank u all for you help and input x
