I am already planning for total hip arthroplasty for my right hip in nearby future and currently on pain killers as sos. However, I need to attend an event on 10th feb, 2021 which is very important for me. Is there any strong pain killer which can allow me to attend and socialize without limping? Please recommend some oral or injection analgesics, which can give such results.

Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin. Heat therapy heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.
