Hello,
Percocet is a fairly strong narcotic pain reliever. There are stronger medications that you would need to talk to your doctor about prescribing. He/she could also possibly increase the dose of percocet. Sometimes it helps to add something like motrin to the percocet. Sometimes ice or heat will also decrease the pain.
