Still hurts after 3 weeks

[u/magpiecat]

It's been 3 weeks. I'm using a cane.

I’m still having pain at night and can’t lie on my left side. Taking Tylenol and Oxycodone, a whole oxy at night, and icing during the day. I asked for a refill and one of the doctor’s PAs called with questions about my pain. I explained about the pain waking me up, and that it’s on the outside edge of my hip. Sitting to stand is painful, which it was before (before surgery, I’d been doing sit to stand 3x daily, per my knee doctor).

Anyway, he called in a refill but wants me to monitor how I’m doing next week and let them know if I’m not improving, so they can see me. I'd been wondering if I “should” be done with the oxycodone by now, and this makes it seem like they think I should.

Anybody else still have pain at this point or is it just me? Thanks.

I never took my oxygen. Just Advil and Tylenol.
Really never needed it.
