Either ring your GP or surgeons secretary. I rang the secretary and one of the team phoned me for a discussion . I had problems 4 months post replacement with tendons,muscle pain and had a steroid injection.

Thanks I did see consultant he said to get my back checked with my chiropractor then see him again good to know that there is steroid route to go down as I feel the deep buttock pain is muscular knocked me back considerably did you get sciatic nerve problems as well

No I had tendonitis around hip replacement area.

“Sounds like” piriformis syndrome. Very painful. I had it years ago.

[Susie-Q in reply to Esmereld]

Yes I had that too. It does sound like similar symptoms. Mine was fixed with a steroid injection. Disappointing for you after such a good recovery from your surgery though. Good luck - hope they fix it for you soon.

My back being checked today see what he says then I think back to consultant as in terrible pain even at rest so need something to be done thank you for your reply
