Sleepless nights
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had a right hip replacement In November '17 .During the day I do not experience much pain but at night I can sleep for 2/3 hours then wake with groin and buttock/leg pain which is only controlled with strong painkillers. Have others experienced this after 3 months.

I had THR Jan 16, 2018 and my biggest problem is sleeping.. I cannot sleep on my side with pillow between my legs and have been unsuccessful sleeping on my back in the bed...I am doing most of my sleeping in my recliner which last two to three hours max and then I need to get up.and stretch and try it again... Sleeping on my side in the bed was torturous for me and did cause pain in my thigh, incision area and legs...I am off the pain meds and am taking Tylenol extra strength...Am walking unaided and doing excercises and walking daily outside .. Now to just get some good sleep would be wonderful...Think our pains are part of the process...even three months into...JMHO.
