My knee is fully involved and at some point will need a total knee replacement - only 55 so doctor says it should wait if possible. Had orthoscopic surgery to trim away damaged cartilage and remove bone chips.
Current pain meds are nambumeton 750 mg twice daily and tramadol 50 mg every 6 hours. Ain't hacking it. Knee aches pretty much constantly. Cannot be on my feet for more than 3 hours or so at a time. Not supposed to, but been supplementing with acetaminophen.
Not looking for medical advice - have a doctor for that. Just looking for information about pain meds that actually work from anyone in a similar situation.
Thanks for any info.
