Is the hip tight? I, 54, had hip replacement about a month ago. The problem with tightness and walking with limp started winter 2021, tried physical therapy for awhile, but finally got x-ray last November and it showed advanced arthritis bone on bone. Fortunately, I didn't advance to having pain and could still surf although pretty sore after. Surgery went super smooth and because I remained active and didn't wait years in denial like a lot of people do, screwing up other things in the process, I'm already back in the water surfing. Titanium ball joint and socket, good for 30 years, I'd line up that x-ray as that answered all my questions about the cause of the hip issue.
Just general soreness that comes and goes, dreading the possibility of a replacement. If it gets worse and more consistent off to the Ortho I go.
