I : I am sorry that you are having to go through this. As you know, that is a very major surgery to go through. It can often be frustrating afterwards. Percocet is a strong medication, and hopefully you will be able to wean it over time. You could ask your doctor if you could take advil (ibuprofen) in between doses to wean off of it. Wear your knee immobilizer as prescribed, i know they are uncomfortable. The cpm question is best left to your surgeon, or ask your physical therapist for advice.
