Brief Answer:
You can take other pain killers

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have Studied your case and I have experienced of managing few charkot foot. Because of neuropathy, healing is very poor, that leads to arthrosis and pain.
I would recommend you to start tablet methylcobal and Pregabalin tablet for pain relief in addition to tablet Percocet. Consult with your doctor before taking.
I hope these medications will help you. Surgical option for such joints are limited. You might need amputation in future is pain is not controlled.
I hope this answer will be helpful to you. Let me know if there is any follow up questions.
Thanks.
