Hello, I take tylenol/hydrocodone 5/325 daily for knee pain prescribed by a pain specialist, so I am little concerned that my body is to used to narcotics that percocet would not be enough to control my pain after the procedures. Is that a matter factor ? I am very sensitive to pain . Which are my options ? I know some PS use exparel or pain pump but none of the surgeons that I consulted so far do . Thank you !
