<s>[INST] Had a total hip replacement in 2008, right hip is fine. Had other hip done in 2010. I have noticed a dark like bruise on my mid thigh in the last month or so and it burns quiet a bit. should I call and make apt to see ortho surgeon. It can get very sore if on my feet to long [/INST] Hi, As per the history I do not think this should be anything major. But it is always advised to get it physically checked by an orthopedist so if any doubts are there taking to major issue can get removed.  Usually bruises might occur post surgery but in the initial stages and not the latter stages. Also, the pain coming depends on how better the post hip replacement rehabilitation was performed.  Sometimes due to muscle weakness some people develop some pain due to wasting of muscles and over strain of it. But again with a physical examination by the orthopedist and exercise things go well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.  </s>
