I fell and fractured my hip, total hip replacement June 2006. Nov. 2013 had a repair on a gluteus tendon. Went to physical therapy and was in pain during exercises and now in extreme pain with taking Norco 5/325. In june 2014 had 2nd annual x-ray and hip looked good, Ortho cannot explain why the pain. If I walk too far hurts and get wobbly so have to sit. Still abiding by rules for hip replacement.
Just a case of lack of strengthening exercises due to long period of  bedrest.  Restart physical therapy and get moving painlessly!!
