Dr. Jason Armstrong answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Energy drinks: Energy drinks are metabolic enhancers - speed up the metabolism. Mostly with caffeine it would depend on the pain medication but the effects would not last as long as your body would metabolize the medication faster. Be careful with stronger pain meds as they can make you drowsy so exercise would not be a good idea.
