Many factors contribute to this. Trochanteric bursitis following hip replacement can have many etiologies. First, surgeon must investigate other sources of persistent pain, and potential sources of failure. It’s hard to give you exact timeline for relief without the proper diagnosis. I wish you the best. Sorry.. not sure how helpful that was.

It sounds most likely associated with your AC joint. Early Arthritic changes or tendinitis can occur surrounding this area, causing shoulder pain. It’s usually worse with overhead activity and repetitive use of the arm. It can be treated with stretching, therapy, and injections. Very occasionally if things don’t improve, surgery can be entertained as an option.

How long does it take to walk after spinal surgery?

It depends on the medicine they used to inject into the spinal anesthetic. Most centers who have adopted truly outpatient joint replacement are using shorter acting spinal anesthetic medications. In that case, it's just 3-4 hours. Otherwise, it's a bit longer than that, but still within a day.
Hope this helps.

Why does my knee hurt more at night after knee replacement?

One of several reasons are a possibility. First, most joints get stiff overnight due to immobility. If you’ve struggled with motion after knee replacement, that could be one reason. READ MORE
One of several reasons are a possibility. First, most joints get stiff overnight due to immobility. If you’ve struggled with motion after knee replacement, that could be one reason. Second, anything that is causing pain in the body tends to reveal itself worse at night. I believe there are fewer distractions then, and the brain tends to remind itself of the ailments more. Third, it could be referred pain from elsewhere, either your hip or back, and with certain positions, this gets aggravated.

Whichever the reason, night pain is a common orthopedic complaint. And if it’s bothersome enough, it might be important to figure out which it is. Hope this helps.
