Depends on the pain: 1st, i agree, the pain meds increase the pain. Next, i will assume (sorry) you have reduced your activity since the mva. There may still be some back or knee damage but, more likely, what you feel is soft tissue imbalance (basic deconditioning) you developed when resting when hurt. Your original pain resolved in a month or so, now you feel pain from imbalance in strength ; flexibility.
