Dr. Peter Ihle answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Not while exercising: The only patients i had take pain meds b 4 exercise were severely osteoporotic, and they needed coverage 2 allow the 2 start a walking program, once they got going their bones gained mass & were no longer in need. Also after rotator cuff repair i had them take b 4 pt so they could tolerate the passive motion early on.
