Suggest Alternative Medication In Place Of Percocet

I have been on different pain meds for 5 months. Percocet for the last 6 weeks. I am looking for an alternative. Maybe over the counter or some kind of crème. I had a broken ankle and bad arthritis in it. Now I am going to see a specialist about fusing my bones.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

You can take Acetaminophen/Aceclofenac combination, which is quite effective for similar conditions.

You can also try over the counter ointment like Diclofenac gel also.

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