[|Human|] I had my right hip replaced in Feb 2015. My leg locks, with severe pain, after I stand awhile, or get up from sitting. Can the replacement be failing? . I m on vacation, & so is my surgeon, so I need to know how to handle this for the next 2 weeks. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain after a hip replacement surgery. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bursitis, nerve injury or infection after hip surgery. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor mat order CT scan or MRI to check the abnormality. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. Doctor may open the site for treatment or Chat Doctor.  For now take proper rest and use of this joint can further complicate the condition and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
