<s>[INST] I had anterior hip replacement surgery last Monday the 28 I also had the other hip replaced 16 years ago this has been a much better surgery but I m not sure how much pain I should still be in I m using a walker most of the time but do use a cane sometimes also [/INST] Hello, I have studied your case. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. An ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION of the involved area or an MRI scan will establish the nature of pathology. As you can have bursitis after the total hip replacement surgery, I suggest you to consult an Orthopedic surgeon (preferably a Joint replacement surgeon) for a detailed examination, workup and further management depending upon the nature of pathology. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care. </s>
