Hi i am 2.5 wpo, i had a RAH and have been recovering ok albeit slowly. However on Monday i started getting hip pain, a real boring pain that stops me from sleeping. i'm currently only on paracetomol and 1 or 2 ibuprofen but these dont touch it, maybe slightly take the edge off. So i rang the nurse today but as its still early days all she could suggest was more ibuprofen and maybe some gentle hip stretches. However, i found out after the call that the blood thinner injections i'm still on say i shouldnt take ibuprofen with them. So now its 3am, i cant sleep and the pain is unbearable, i've tried icing but not much help. It did go off today for abit but seems to be worse in bed. Obviously tried researching to find the cause but it seems its a common problem after hysto. Interested to hear others experiences or suggestions, thanks x
