What Causes Shooting Pain In The Knee Post A Knee Replacement Surgery?

I am recovering from knee replacement surgery on Feb. 9th. Two weeks later the surgeon had to reopen the incision because a piece of cement had broken off. I am now having some shooting pain in my knee, having trouble getting in a comfortable position for sleeping and still have swelling in the knee area. I m getting worried. This is nothing like the previous knee replacement surgery I had ten years ago, which was a breeze!

Hello,

Drowsiness from these drugs is subjective and not seen in all patients.
So if you don't feel drowsy, you can definitely take both of them together, no harm in it. Just avoid driving in 1 day if you are taking them together.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
