Hi @Paul66 welcome to the online Community.

Total hip replacement means that you are now returning to using that side of the body in a more normal way, rather than before when you had to adapt movement because it was so painful. The adjustment back is probably exercising the muscles in the other hip in ways its not been used to recently.
