Adhesions from hip replacement

HELP ! My significant other had a hip replacement performed approx. 3
years ago. A calcium deposit formed at the site and had to be removed
and several months later, the abductor muscle ruptured and had to be
re-attached to the bone. All surgeries were done through the same
incision site. He subsequently has severe pain from the incision site,
down his thigh, almost to his knee. The pain is very intense. I think
it is from adhesions as a result of 3 back to back surgeries at the same
site. No doctors in our area have been able to define the pain or help
alleviate it.
I live in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of NE PA. Does anyone know of
a pain clinic or specialist in this area who treats this type of problem
?
Thanks in advance !!!
