Most patients tell me they have LESS pain 1 day after a hip replacement than they did before the surgery. Most of the pain is gone at 7-10 days. Soreness lasts 4-6 weeks after surgery, then most patients have little or no pain.

I recently had my hip replaced 3 months ago and it took roughly this long for all pain to resolve. This was my experience with most patients. However some people take 6-9 months for all pain to resolve. Keep performing the exercises and it should resolve. Good luck.
There is significant pain the first 2 or 3 days. That will be made significantly less if you get a nerve block as part of your treatment. Thereafter the pain is mild to moderate for a few weeks. Most patients are pretty much pain-free by 3 months.
The pain in the total hip replacement should subside fast after the operation, With pain medication, most of my patients were very comfortable. The soreness should be gone in 3 weeks.
Pain is subjective and variable. But for most people in 2 weeks they are doing reasonably well.
