You're not quite a week post-op yet. I recall those first two weeks being ... darn. Hang on. You'll be over this hump soon!

So glad that you are doing well @gialyn I've never been on a forum and don't use a computer except for work and emailing so I'm learning this as I sit and rest this hip of mine tonight. I am sure glad that I found you all about a week ago
Please call your surgeon or your family doctor. Post op pain can be controlled but it sometimes takes a bit of tweaking to get your own "cocktail" just right. Are you also icing and elevating?

Hope you get through to someone today who can begin to tweak your pain meds. It is not fun and not right that you should be in this position. Good luck.
@TnGal61
It's great that you are starting on a forum. It feels a bit confusing at first but you will get familiar with it. Why not start a post and tell us what you will be or have had done?

Hope it makes sense

@gialynn Hope you have your pain situation sorted out. My OS told me that they couldn't do away with all pain. The first two weeks were the most painful for me but believe me there will come a day when you "turn a corner" and the pain is hardly there. Honest! Hang in there and vent away! So many nice people on here to help you through.

Thanks everyone for all the support! 1 week post op today! Noticing more swelling and black and blue! i was told I took to many pain meds before surgery so I built up a tolerance for them! OS nurse said they couldn't give me anything stronger. Had to take them before surgery because I was working a week up till surgery!

Make sure to elevate for the swelling! That's what i'm hearing.
Totally normal at this point. I got some vivid green and purple bruising as well. Ice is your friend and it will also help address your post op pain.
