How long may severe pain be expected to last after THR surgery using a non-cemented proceedure? Can anyone supply me with a URL for THR support groups?

Thanks

You will have surgical pain after THR that lasts a few weeks. But it is WAY better than the bone on bone pain I had before surgery. I felt immediate relief when I woke up in recovery! Having had hips and then knees done, the hips were nothing!
