“How long do you take pain meds after knee surgery?”
I had knee surgery 2 weeks ago. It still hurts. How long do you take pain meds after knee surgery?

Pain medications of any kind only mask pain for a few hour each time but have no therapeutic effect to the source of pain whatsoever, meaning the source of pain remains unimproved. To cure pain, the source of pain must be identified, located and effectively treated. The source of pain lies in the strained soft tissue (muscle/fascia, mostly fascia) outside and around the knee and NEVER the knee joint itself. Knee surgery does not treat or resolve pain but adds more injury/pain instead. Therefore, knee pain prior to surgery remains untreated/unimproved and now more injury/pain from surgery is added to the knee. The injury can be easily located only by palpation (yet physicians routinely fail to do so but relying instead on X-rays/MRI which do not show the injury at all). For knee pain, either prior to or after surgery, the focus should be on the strained soft tissue. Once all injured sites are located, pain can be easily cured by light touch to initiate self-healing internally by the body itself. No other treatments are effective enough to cure pain including all external means (medication/injection, hot/clod, ultrasound, electrotherapy, massage, vibration, manipulation, stretching, strengthening, brace, etc.).
