Feel like hip being removed from socket? Femur issue

I am beyond excited for not having one g.d. thing after the other with this surgery.

I recognize that laying in bed during the recovery wiped out needed muscle in my knee that had a surgery, but now I feel like something is trying to tear my leg off. I have tried a trochanter belt of sorts. It helps right away. Pretty much I used DH's belt snugly around my hips.

I am melting but in a good way, I wonder why oh why my hip is so painful? Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you end up doing?

Thanks, Roser

I had several painful joint issues as I was losing weight....hips and shoulders....I think it's from losing our 'stuffing' (fat) that was holding everything firmly in place.....

 I have had a lot of issues and pain with my hips since surgery. I thought it was strange because Ive never really had any problems there in the past... It was real bad for a while so I stopped exercising so much and rested for a week and that seemed to help. But every once in a while I have a little flare up.
