I have to admit I am stressing about the pain after the operation within the first 72 hours. Some people have told me it is agony and others have said it is fine, I don't know what to think or expect...
Can I ask you out of ten how bad was it for you? Please be honest.
I am mentally preparing for my operation next week, and would find your answer really helpful.
Do the hospital give you enough pain relief? So worried about being left in pain...had a bad experience as a child and this aspect is worrying me. Thank you

You know what I wouldn't have cared one bit about anything after enduring 5 months of constant pain & life come to a halt due to the hip, so anything to rectify that was worth it!!

That is where I am now and it is not a good place to be at all. It is not difficult to make the decision to go ahead as there is no other choice whatsoever....but interesting to know what it feels like afterwards and what to expect. I am an organiser by nature! And if I am going to go through more hell I would like to know about it x

Compared to before the op the pain was negligible. At times a score of 8 before the op but maximum of 3 afterwards. However the main sensation for me was discomfort not pain.
Whilst in hspital the staff were very careful to make sure pain was managed so medicated accordingly. Iwas in hospital for three days and by then I only needed paracetamol. The worst pain I had was actually a killer migraine a week afterwards - not my hip at all!
i hope this means that you have decided to go for the op before Christmas. You won't regret it. I was so upset for you when your op was cancelled at the last minute before. I will be thinking of you and wishing you a happy Christmas with your little children.

I booked it and haven't slept very well since worrying. Sleep is quite elusive with the pain and the worry full stop. Not as much worry as last time though, so I definitely getting better. Your post has really helped me feel much more confident. It is a strange feeling the week before, the building up to it is not pleasant, and I will be so glad for it to be over!
Thank you Carole for your message and kindness x

you don't have the op. Answer these and you know WHY
you are having your op. When you are in hospital your
pain will be monitored.
I can't take pills, apart from the antibios and blood thinners
they give you.
How did mothers reply when you asked about birth pain.
What do you say to pregnant mums? IT IS WORTH IT.
go for it and don't worry, if we can do it so can you.
the answer is not too bad,
love Cathie

it has given you so much time to think.I was the same,
because I fixed a date to suit my daughter, who has family
exams and full time work to organise.
wishing you a painless post op, Cathie

I had very little pain. More like discomfort.
You can immediately feel the difference in your pain level prior to the op and then after. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Good luck to you!
