...As y'all know, I'm having left hip replacement a week from today, 1:30 PM.....This pain I'm experiencing has gotten extreme,and it's going to get MUCH worse:I have to discontinue taking my anti-imflammatory meds 5 days before surgery, it's a blood thinner, the anti-inflammatory med controls the pain from arthritis in my whole body, and when it wears off, 48 hours after my last dose, which is on Friday....... This is going to be REALLY bad; prayers, please.......

Prayers but this was posted on FB for pain like Fibro & Arthritis -- it is TURMERIC CURCUMIN 500mg Vegetarian Capsules-- 90 pills are not to be expensive; so maybe you can take these --Ask Dr ! I haven't tried them as yet but will for my Legs , Arthritis & Compression Fracture Back pain! I still take Aleve for all my pain! I know how painful it is and will be for you with surgery! God Bless! Ma

May I suggest?

Ice pack for up to 15 minutes. Then warm, moist heat. It's important that it is moist. Maybe use a damp towel warmed in microwave or between your hip and heating pad . Dry heat, as in heating pad only, draws out the water in your muscles and tissues which will then actually increase your pain. And of course the cure all, drink lots of water to replenish the fluids that may be lost in muscles and tissues.

God Bless and may His healing hand be upon you!
