How Can Severe Pain In The Hips Be Treated?
I just had a hip replacement surgery this past Monday and ran out of the pain medicine (Oxcedodiacetamin 325 mg). I can refill it later today but am in significant pain and can t sleep. Until around 10-11:00 am this morning (when I think I can refill), can I safely take ibuprofen to help with the pain?

Hello,
Yes, you may take Ibuprofen safely. It is a good painkiller. It can be repeated every eight hours.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
