Hi I Recently Had R Knee Arthroscopic Surgery On 11/20

Hi I recently had r knee arthroscopic surgery on 11/20 I just finished my last shot of orthoVisc last Wednesday. I have several health issues, lupus SLE, severe RA, severe CRPS. My knee has been doing well I do take hydrocodone 7.5/325 daily usually about 3 to 6 a day depending on pain levels. I again have been doing great with knee until tonight, I was putting a glass away in my kitchen and when I stepped off my step stool I came down wrong on right foot, and heard a pop and then immediately felt severe pain in the knee it swelled up double the size I hav been icing and I immediately took 2 of my hydrocodone that was around 8:30 pm, they are not helping with the pain at all. I do not want to go to ER, I still have several of my hydromorophone left from my surgery from 11/20 at this point want to know if it would be OK to take 2 of those to see if I can get some pain relief until I can call my doctor tomorrow and get in to see what I did to cause my knee so much pain and discomfort. If you could please advise I would truly appreciate it! Thank you, kim
