A member asked:
What pain killers do people normally get after i have a hip replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : On the surgeon. Most will receive pain medication immediately after surgery though and IV with a pump that can provide pain medications when you push a button. You can only receive so much so pushing the button many time cannot deliver too much medication. After a day or so this will be stopped and oral pain meds will be started. Normally this may be oxycodone or hydrocodone.
