It has been a few days less than two months since that surgery on the hip. Doc has said to start weaning off the pain med gradually and filling in with Tylenol like you suggested or anything else that may work.
I felt pretty good today and was walking without my walker or cane gingerly and in some pain but grinned and tolerated it. went with Miz Micro to Home Depot to look at Laminate planking for our family room which is actually my man cave.
Not in a hurru to change it and I certainly am not doing it but it felt good to get out and walk with my cane a little.
A couple hours ago my hip started screaming very loudly and so much so it almost dropped me to the floor. I do not know what this is just killing me now .
Isit possible I was on my feet walking too much???
Pain meter is at 6-7 on that thing so I am hurting and desperately don;t want to restart the prescription pain killers..
Did you go thru something like this? Can you start walking witout use of a cane too soon so it puts too much weight on the surgical area?
Just looking for answers because tomorrow is coming and I hope not to keep this going. My wife will be gone all day out of town so I am on my own and right now, I'm a mess. I know its still in socket buy holy cow this thing can generate some serious pain levels....
Just wondered if you experienced anyting similar and maybe I am over doing it too soon?
Thanks Ribs,,
