Hip pain/spasms after tummy tuck and can't sleep? What could cause this and does anyone have suggestions for relief and sleep?

My TT was 18 days ago and I'm doing pretty well during the day with Mobic and Tylenol (and thrilled with results). My trouble starts at night, I can't sleep in any one position for more than about 45 minutes due to pain/muscle spasms in my hips. If I take 10mg of oxycodone I can stretch it to maybe an hour and a half of sleep. My pain isn't from my incision or abdomen. The MA at the PS's office didn't have any advice.
