A couple months ago I was feeling like crap every day and realized that I wasn’t sleeping very well. I was constantly being woken up by the pain in my hip. So I started taking 2 Percocets every night in an attempt to sleep better.
For a while things improved and I was able to get a solid couple hours of sleep per night, up until a couple weeks ago. I guess my body has gotten used to the Percocet and doesn’t react the same way anymore. Things have gone back to how they used to be. At this point I can’t even tell the difference between when I take the drugs and when I don’t.
So I’m giving up on trying to get a good night’s sleep.
Someone asked me the other day how it makes me feel knowing that I may never run again. I told him I’d be okay with it. All I really care about is being pain-free the rest of my life.

Are you still hitting the gym? I realize you’re extremely limited with lower-body stuff, but some regular upper-body PT may help you sleep. I know if won’t stop the pain…
Best of luck, man.
Semper Fi.
Since I can’t do pretty much any physical activity without being in pain, I quit my gym a couple months ago. It sucks, I loved going to the gym. It’s one of the things I’m most looking forward to getting back to in my post-surgery life.
