It will likely take several months for you to recover and stabilize. Hopefully, you are scheduled for physical therapy. Medication choices are between the doctor and patient, and if you feel the need for more aggressive intervention, suggest a comprehensive appointment with your doctor to thoroughly discuss your ongoing symptoms and limitations.

I prescribe Aleve or Ibuprofen postoperatively to all my patients. This makes a big difference in rehabilitation.
