Script for pain he gave did absolutely ZERO. I'm in bed before 5 pm every day now, because it's the only way to escape the 9.5-10 pain in my hip during waking hours. This surgery will be life changing for me, as my mobility is about a 1 these days, and as stated, pain is at/near the top.

I feel your pain, I'm in my 6th week of recovery from hip replacement surgery.
Same thing, 9 - 10 pain and bone on bone for 9 months as I had a sciatica at the same time, same side and tried PT that didn't work of course.
Anyway, good luck! I'm almost walking without a hitch, have some stiffness in my lower back from favoring the bad hip, but have been pain free for the past 5 weeks now.
Had 2 Oxy's post surgery, first 2 days, Tylenol arthritis for about a week and nothing for pain since.
