That is reassuring pompa - mine is also still painful (that has never stopped) but I do find the clunk really disconcerting. It is good to hear that it might settle.

I have a numbness all down my leg which is also disconcerting.

Yes Mishap, I had exactly this with my hip. I put it down to tendons or something clunking over the head of the new joint. It wasn't painful just worrying. I don't know when but at some point it just disappeared.

My knee is doing the same thing atm, guess that will sort itself out in time.

Anyone else had this problem? I am beginning to feel less and less happy about it as time goes by.

It is at its worse when I first stand from sitting or lying; and also when I twist at the hip - e.g. at the ironing board when turning from one end of a garment to the other.

Physio says not to twist at the hip (is this what I had the surgery for?) and to just be careful. Hmm.
