Hi I'm a 47yo female 9 days after left THR. I'm wondering whether aching is a normal pain to have after this type of surgery. I am having lots of trouble sleeping due to waking up with aching in my back, buttocks and thigh. I think I overdid it today and now my left thigh is aching. Currently on Panadeine Forte when needed.
Just want to know if this is normal.

I wanted to update you all on where I'm at. I'm 22 days post op and I'm doing great. I'm walking without aids and was able to go for a 5 minute walk yesterday. I'm planning on walking every day and building up the amount of time I go for as well as continuing my physio. Not using any painkillers but getting lots of muscle pain from not using them for so long! Still lots of work to be done but I feel like I have my life back. Amazed at how quick I am recovering.
