    Hello everyone, I'm 5 and a half weeks post op now so I thought I would drop by and have a chat . I'm still sleeping on my back and I am used to that but the back ache still kicks in but I've accepted that's the way it is. I've halved my meds; they're usually for my back, not my hip. I still...
