I can t carry on like this it s make me upset and run down but other than that I m fine.
Based on the history you have shared, you can use OTC analgesic like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. If pain is severe more potent analgesics like tramadol or gabapentin may be needed. Orthopedic surgeon review and radiographs or MRI may be needed.
