A member asked:
I am almost four weeks out of arthroscopic knee surgery and a lateral release, i am still sore, is it okay to continue to take the pain medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would transition : To Tylenol or NSAIDs. You want to get off narcotics ASAP. It will take 6-8 weeks to feel better after a lateral release.
