Get it moving. : You need to un-freeze the joint. Or you will lose function . Physical therapy with some Percocet before you get there is a start. Ask the surgeon if you are a candidate for a manipulatin under anesthesia. It is common after knee and shoulder surgery.

Central nerve block: Pain medicines such as percocet, and oxycodone can become habituating even addicting. Pain relief by means of sphenopalatine ganglion blockade has been shown to be effective for relief of chronic as well as acute pain. It is a painless, non-invasive technique but not in widespread use especially in places outside of major urban locations.
