His orthopedic Dr. thinks it may be pinched nerve in that leg. He is back in Physical Therapy. Is this pretty normal thing to happen? Dr. said X-ray and equipment looked fine.

Unfortunately it is common. My MIL had knee replacement surgery and it never worked and she remained in constant pain until she died. She regretted having the surgery and no amount of PT fixed it. I would consider getting a second opinion to see if the implant is properly placed. Also, remember that it's a foreign object and his body may be reacting to it. A CT scan may be necessary to show tissue damage that's related to the implant.

You are doing all you can with the followup. I was going to say need to check the equipment. I am glad of the Physical Therapy.I love them.I think them often better at diagnosis and treatment than MDs. Do keep us posted. I think it is most "UNusual" than usual for this to happen. So it is worrisome, but you are doing absolutely everything perfectly. Keep us updated. I BELIEVE in PT so much. They helped my brother so much with his balance even with a benign brain tumor sitting on his medulla (portion of brain involved with balance.) Good luck!
