Jonie,
Welcome to the forum... sorry you need to be here. Post-op experiences are all over the place. There are so many variables. Sometimes, people have a better than average first few days post-op because of the extra meds and immobility they have in the days around their surgery. There may be some reason for inflammation and pain that is at rest because of their inactivity. As they start to become active after their surgery, they have increasing activity and decreasing meds. Sometimes it takes a while for the inflammation to become ramped up enough to cause problems, then WHAM!
You are in contact with your doc and will see him in a few days. He'll do some xrays to make sure that everything has stayed put. Try not to horrible-ize (sp?)... it doesn't help.
Good luck... keep us posted,
Mark
