How Can Pain In The Ankles After An Ankle Surgery Be Treated?

Hello, I am 12 weeks post ankle surgery and still having pain. I d like to take something otc besides tylenol because it doesn t touch the pain. I am also taking Xaralto for a clot I developed after surgery. I took two aleve this morning and it really helped but now I understand I shouldn t be using it. What can I can for day time pain? At night I use half a percocet but obviously can t during the day. Thank you, Lupita
