I had oromorph which did the trick. It is morphine in syrup form.
It made me a bit sickly so they gave me a jab to stop that as well.
Later on I had a second dose of oromorph to help me sleep.
Then I had a lot of fluid from the drip they put in in theatre and spent the night on the bedpan getting rid of it.
I peed like a horse! lol
Hope you are not too bad.
Hugs

in hospital post op, There was plenty on offer, started with oromorph, but by the time I went home on Day 5 I was on Co coma doll, codeine, paracetamol mixture.
This worked fine and by day 10 I did not need any pain killers.
having said that we are all different, some need more, some less and what suits one person causes side effects in another.
the important thing is to be proactive in communicating with doctors/nurses. They cannot guess how you are feeling. I was frequently asked on a scale of 1-10 what is your pain leve. Be honest at this point, do not opt for bravery, then you should get what you need. If it does not work or agree with you say so so that it can be altered
all the best

None of my pain killers work now with the pain, so was hoping the ones they give you at hospital are better/effective. Thank you so much for your reply it is really encouraging to think by day 10 I might be a little closer to life without pain.

By day 10, You should feel like your self again. Try to stay away from painkillers. They are very addictive and withdrawal is hell. I wish you luck with your recovery. Keep your head high and SMILE sweetie!

Our conditions are not the same. I have neck and back pain while I believe your having a hip replacement. Many of my family and friends have had hip replacement and all have said the pain wasn't that bad. You will probably receive Percocet. Usually 5 mg. I know surgery can be scary. I'm scared about my neck fusion. Wish I could be more helpful. Good luck!

I found I was prescribed a lot more pain killers than I was being given. I wish the doctors would have been up front about pain management. I think it would be a good idea to discuss it with your surgeon
