What is the strongest pain reliever that I can buy without a prescription that will ease my joint pain?
11 comments so farI tore my ACL about ten years ago and have occassional yet intense bouts of pain in my knee. This is definitely one of those times and I will see a doctor soon but until then I need some immediate pain relief. Aleve is not enough anymore. Does anyone know of a OTC pain reliever that will last long. As it stands now, I can't walk more than 3 blocks without a searing pain shooting through my leg.
Percogesic Extra Strength. It's an over the counter muscle relaxer/pain reliever. It works wonders. It's orange coated pills. Hope you feel better!

Have you tried a regular dose of Ibuprofen? 600-800 mg a day? It really seems to work after a period of time, giving it a chance to work. I would ask your doctor if its ok that you take that first as it is a high dose and can interfere with some other conditions.
If that isn't working maybe you should see an orthopedic.

You need to see your doctor about pain control. It's possible that you have developed arthritis (common after a joint injury). You may need a cortisone shot for pain relief. Just be aware that there is a limit as to how many cortisone shots you have lifetime in a specific area (I think it is 3).
I strongly sugges that you avoid the use of narcotic painkillers. They are highly addictive and you can easily develop a dependency of them. Talk to your doctor about your options. TENS treatment might be an alternative.

I personally have a lot of recent experience with joint pain due to surgeries following a car wreck 3 years ago. In physical therapy they tell us severe joint pain is usually because of swelling in the joint (no matter what the underlying problem). So they recommend ibprofin (Motrin) because it naturally contains an anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling. The trick is to take it consistently. Not one pill here or there. That won't do you a bit of good. You can temporarily up the dosage from 2 pills (400 mg) to 3 or 4 pills per dose until you talk with your doctor. This is a TEMPORARY measure ONLY. It is not a replacement for seeing your doctor.
The second part of pain management would be ice pack therapy. Again, this reduces swelling so in turn alieviates pain. 10 minutes on, 20 minutes off.

HI Deb a handy hint 4 your swollen joints n fluid build up is u get 1 or2 bags rock washing soda from supermarket n poor rock soda into 1 leg so u can make a pack out of it enough to covour the swollen part.You wrap it right round then wrap a bandage or some form of strap then sleep with it on all night when you wake n unrap the rock washing soda be very hard n 1 solid mass cause they’ve sucked all the fluid out of that part of your body it worked 4 my back which was bruised from the inside n bigger than a football not soccer. Also no pain or discomfortTRY IT NO BULL.I’M TONY DEANE.
