I'm new to this site.

I'm 5 weeks post recovery from partial knee replacement. I thought I was doing really well, taking codeine and ibuprofen, I could manage to bend my knee quite well and carry out the physio excersises given to me. However after 4 weeks I stopped taking codeine and tried just taking paracetamol and ibuprofen, but this does not seem to give pain relief and the discomfort is getting me down.

obviously if I'm in pain, I feel reluctant to do physio, would it be normal to return back to taking codeine?

Has anyone else struggled with getting the right pain relief.
