Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I took pain meds before my hip replacement right up to the day of surgery, with no adverse effects, I guess it depends on what you are taking. -- Re: JOINT REPLACEMENT Ahhh..that is good to hear since I need both hips replaced. I'm NOT looking forward to the next 7 weeks, as the cortisone s disappears, and then no pain meds for the last week or so...I'll be willing to let them operate with NO anesthesia by that time... (Actually I already told my pain management doctor to start working on a plan.) In the meantime, I'll have had four months of pre-op physical therapy by the time the first hip is done. Hope that will help with a quick rebound. judith ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
