Recovering from a Knee Injury
If you have had a significant knee injury, you may need pain relief, physical therapy, massage and other therapies such as aquatherapy to regain muscle balance.
We strongly caution against the use of opioids, except immediately after surgery, and in order to withstand the rigors of physical therapy in the first few days after therapy begins.
Please work with your physician, physical therapist, and massage therapist, to reduce the need for opioids within a short period of time after surgery. Addiction to these drugs can be devastating.
