Kind of opposite your experience: my hip has little to no pain when I’m lying down, maybe level 5-6 when I stand up. I haven’t taken pain meds. But when I stand up, my blood pressure plummets. I just flunked again about 1/2 hour ago. Maddening! Hi ! I must have misspoken, because when lying down I’ve got zero pain. Some pain when sitting in a chair, tons when standing/ walking. I’ve avoided the Oxycodone but for 2 pills, taken on different days. Your BP plummets? Maddening indeedy, but your body is working through getting rid of the anaesthetic. My Non-MD advice? Drink a ton of water. It will only flush out the chemicals faster. Keep us posted-- I think I just found your thread here, yes? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/second-hip-replacement-8-years-on-comparison-contrast/1033070)._
