Post Surgery Hip Pain

I was sleeved January 25th, 2016. I am down 35 pounds since my journey started last November (24.3 pounds down since surgery). For the last week or so I have had pain in my right hip... I can't tell if the pain is really up in the joint or if it is more to the front of my thigh/in my pubic area... all I know is it HURTS... it hurts if I sit my "normal way" on a hard surface (I often tuck my right leg up and under my left leg when I sit) and it hurts when I walk (though if I walk a lot it sort of calms down some and isn't so bad for awhile). I have arthritis in other joints, and I am wondering if (as the fat goes away) I am losing the "cushioning" that held all my parts together; and that is revealing pain from damage done to my body while I was overweight. I probably need to see my doctor, but my next post-surgical appointment is on the 14th and they simply can;t see me until then. I may need to go to an orthopedist, but in the meantime - has anyone else experienced this or something similar? I don't think bariatric patients are supposed to take Ibuprofen - which has ALWAYS been my go-to for ANY kind of pain - is it not allowed? Should I try Tylenol? Is that even likely to help me with this kind of pain as well as Ibuprofen would?
