I elevated my legs when I underwent right-side THR surgery in Nov, 2025, and one of the nurses said it's okay to elevate my legs

And yesterday, I underwent left-side THR surgery, but another nurse said I should not elevate my legs, and my back pain has worsened since she doesn't let me elevate my legs, she said that my new hip joint needs to be straightened to recover

I want to elevate my legs. Can I ignore her medical advice to reduce back pain? I can't sleep because of my back pain.
