Percocet for knee pain

How about aquatic moves for your knees, I dont have knee replacements yet, but they bother me have had operations on both knees, they hurt. but the water seems to help soothe just a little, i hope you find some pain releif soon, will be praying you do....... ........

But still keep in mind we are all different, and we all react differently to all medications, as a matter of fact we can all react diffently with ourselves with the same medication.  I have had it happen, one med would help me once, but not the next time and it was the same med. Now vicodin suppose to be weaker then the percocet, but vicodin helps me more, and demoral suppose to be weaker than both of those, demroral would be my painkiller of choice, it reallly work well on me for pain,and I was surprised to see it less powerful the percocet, for me a percocet after 3 doses is like an asprin.

Now there are people I know that can take darvocet and plenty of pain relieff with just that.

I am not one of those. 3 darvocets would still be like taking an asprin. but I know a older very strong man, who darvocets knocks him out, go figure, we are all so different on how we will react.

But if your reading down her list, look like oxyxontin is the next strongest, i have never tried. I always though demoral was stronger thann percocet, go figure. demoral works well for me, and percocet dont do a thing??

You really ought to talk to your doctor and tell him the percocet is not helping, what does he suggest, he may add something for you to take with the percocet to make it stronger, like phenergan, will enhance it.  Anyway good luck!

My knees starting to bother me again too, but at least that tailbone pain went away.  Hiding those easter eggs the other day nearly killed the left part of my body, from shoulder to hip to knee to foot. weird...... .....

I am sorry june you cannot take any, you would think with technology there would be soemthing out not destrying to the liver that you can take

Generally Pain Mangment docs are the ones to prescribe this medication, but if your fortunate enough to have a reg doc scribe it to you then there is no problem with that all. An ortho, or a rheumie can scribe them too, it does not have to be a pain mangement dr. It is nice to have all your drs working together though.

I have bad knees too, Ihave had operations on both knees, which has helped some. But still they bother sometimes quite a bit.

As I understanding it, you want to stay on your percocets becasue it does help with pain, right?

The one true thing that helped me the most of all with no side effects(that I was aware of) was bextra, loved that stuff, it really helped the inflamtion and joint pain, it made it easier to walk without pain, no stomach probelms( I cant take nsaids). But that one I could I was on 6 months them bam they took it off the market. I wish they would bring it back with cautions, the group of people that were having problems, were elderly and were be prescribed way too much of it. On a normal dose it shouldnt hurt a healthy person., well good luck with your percocet i hope you can still take it....... .......

But as I described before according to that list demoral is way below some of the others i get prescribed, but no dr will prescribe demoral very easily, if its lower tthan loratab and percocet etc, why wont they prescribe often, is more addicting? I find demoral when I have prescibed occassionally helps me more than any of it even the morphine( i cant stand morphine, make me dizzy, and nasuea,) maybe they were just giving me too much of it, when i had my partial hsterectomy, I kept begging for them to take the cathater(sp?) out, they kept saying push your pain button, as it was a self pain thing, I wouldt keep pushing it.  My husand bent down to kiss me good bye, goodnite,(he had to take care ofthe kids).

I whispered in his ear, take the cathater out!!!!)

Once thay finally took the cather out and took off the morphine drip, I felt so much better until I tryed to stand up, nearly fell over, to much morphine, so the nurse came in with a big shot of phergan, and i was pefectly fine after that. I could walk wasnt dizzy, ate my food.

So I guess what Im saying again, sorry to repeat is we are al so different, Percocet didnt do anyhting for me, lorotab worked better, and its weaker supposdly.All our systems are so different, it very much trial and error. See what your doc thinks about stepping you up to the oxycontin.  Good Luck!...
