You should have your hip and thigh examined by your orthopaedic surgeon, as pain a year after hip screw surgery may indicate implant irritation, loosening, or other complications. Avoid heavy activity until you are assessed and promptly report any swelling, redness, or numbness.

It's important to have your thigh pain evaluated by an orthopedic specialist, especially since you had hip screws inserted a year ago. The pain could be related to the hardware, healing process, or other complications such as infection or irritation.

  • Avoid putting excessive weight or strain on the affected leg until you see a doctor.
  • Monitor for any signs of worsening pain, swelling, redness, fever, or inability to move the leg.
  • Over-the-counter pain relief may help temporarily, but do not start any new medication without consulting your doctor.
  • Schedule an appointment with your orthopedic surgeon or a specialist in musculoskeletal care as soon as possible for a thorough assessment and imaging if needed.

If you experience sudden severe pain, inability to move the leg, or signs of infection (fever, redness, warmth), seek emergency care immediately. Consulting an orthopedic surgeon will provide the best guidance tailored to your situation.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
