Agreed. OTC meds...never go back to the Percocet...you're beyond that now. If the OTCs (like Ibuprofen 800mg TID) don't work, the doc can prescribe Tramadol...a very, very mild opioid...used as a transition from the heavy stuff to OTCs.
Stiffness can last 18 months...or beyond. Worse when you just sit around. Have to move the knee...and keep it moving.
Maybe it's time to rebuild all your muscles. Here ya go...all laid out for us by a pro...

Chico Marx, thank you for the the great info/advice! I would suggest your information be required reading on this forum. I have followed your advice and my daily pain has subsided. I am impressed as much as you are proud, of your Daughter. Again, extremely valuable advice (better than my Doctor's).
