Normally, how long would the pain after the hip replacement surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Most total hip patients experience significant pain relief very soon after surgery. It is not uncommon though for a patient to need occasional pain medication for a few weeks after surgery. Individual pain thresholds vary from person to person.
