pain expectations

[Guest guest]

well i am now 11 days post surgury

My question is about peoples experience with pain in the hip

I find that in the morning and early afternoon i feel geat

but by late afternoon i have this strong aching feeling many of the

days.

I have to up my dose of 1 percoset every 6 hrs

to 2 every 4 hours or more

sometimes a valium too.

and then i feel ok

is this typical for this stage of healing

my activities are the typical bed exercises,

a little walking on my crutches

and getting in and out of a car

and maybe a short walk inside of a store.

thanks for your experiences
