Question
Dear Sharon,
I had total hip replacement in April, I toe bearing weight for the first six weeks after surgery.
It has been 18 weeks since my surgery.
I have been sexually active for the last 4 weeks.
I experience pain in my upper thigh after having sex in the missionary style. Should I be concerned about this.
I still have pain occasionally from just daily activities.
Theresa

Answer
Hi Theresa

If the pain is in your upper thigh, it probably is just muscular. Try and rest your leg with the knee facing out on a pillow that should help.  You might also want to try another position with your mate entering you from behind.

If I were you, I would avoid any position where you are on top as you might be at risk for dislocation.

Hope this helps.
