Can Hydrocodone/APAP Be Taken For Severe Knee Pain?

My husband took Tylenol PM at 10 PM for pain associated with arthroscopic knee surgery last Thursday in place of Hydrocod/apap C3 5-325 prescribed in attempt to get away from the narcotic. He is experiencing high level of pain. May he take the Hydrocod now since he took the Tylenol PM 4 hours ago?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. I would suggest NSAIDs like Diclofenac and add tramadol if needed in such case.
Thanks.
