A member asked:
I had a hip replacement in 2016 and then again to remove a heterotopic bone and now i have severe pain which some think is bursitis and others that think it is scar tissue,...can you help me?

you need to be evaluated by the surgeon that operated on you , meanwhile you need to improved the strength of your muscle by exercise , the stronger the muscle around the hip the more they protected you from pain, you can use naproxen bid with meals as long as you are not allergic, to minimize the pain
