Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a total anterior hip replacement 18 days ago and the pain is still quite acute. Can I take Aleve? Do you think I did something wrong that it is still so painful? I have a very high pain tolerance but sometimes the pain is so severe my leg gives out.
