My wife has undergone Total Hip Replacement Surgery on 8th November,2013. She is diabetic which has been kept under control.She has started walking with walker in her Flat. But there is excessive pain below knee to Toe throughout the Day. Temporary relief is felt from Hot water Rubber Bottle. She does not get sound sleep during Night time. So we tried one tablet of Crocin / Calpol-650mg before Bed time. She got some relief from pain and is able to sleep. Can we give same dose Daily before Bed time without any adverse effects..
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of articular pain running from thigh to toes due to compression on nerve roots. You should consult with your treating doctor/ internal medicine specialist/ neurologist and should go for thorough neurological check up. There could also be possibility of persisting inflammation at hip replacement site. As such there is no harm in taking single dose of Cronin/ Cal pol at nighttimes. But she should go for renal function test before using cal pol as diabetes is associated with renal function derangement. If renal function test is found to be normal then she can use cal pol safely. She should also take cholecalciferol sachet once in a week. Take care,
