Non-opioid pain medicine plan after hip replacement

This research study tests a combination of non-narcotic pain medicines (like Tylenol, Celebrex, and others) to see if they can control pain after hip replacement surgery while reducing the need for strong opioids. The goal is to help patients recover with fewer side effects and less risk of opioid dependence.
