Multiple causes: Thigh pain could be from the femur or radiating pain from the hip joint region including the capsule and muscles. If there is a cementless stem in the femur, there can be activity thigh pain due to motion at the stem tip or a stress reaction in the femur from altered load transfer from the stem to the femur. This usually resolves with time but can be aggravated by too much activity.

Femoral implant: Depending on what type of metal implant was used, the implant may be far stiffer than young femur, which can create thigh pain when you do a maneuver that forces your femur to flex. The other cause could be a loose implant. If the implant is moving still inside the femur it will hurt.
