Acetaminophen / oxycodone
"In the last 6 months I have had 2 total knee replacement surgeries. My left knee first, right knee 3.6 months later. It is a very painful - actually excruciatingly painful surgery. I have found that Percocet 10/325 is the most effective for pain relief after the first 2-3 days, depending on the hospital stay. Doctor's are skittish about prescribing Percocet & want to prescribe Vicodin which I can't take because it makes me hyper. I have had problems with some generic oxycodone 10/325 however but the brand is too costly. Sometimes pharmacies don't - won't carry the 10/325 at all and they are restricted to a monthly quota as well so at the end of the month it can be hard - to fill the Rx. Wrong for legitimate pain pts."
