Tramadol and TKR

This was exactly my experience. Tylenol as really useless I had TKR end Jan. Didn’t feel I need Oxycodone after 2 weeks but needed more than Tylenol. Tramadol fit the bill right. Didn’t need it all the time but took it when I did. After 3 weeks I again didn’t feel I needed an opioid but couldn’t find a reasonable pain med. I can’t take anything with ASA. I tried the Kirkland Muscle & Back Pain Relief (Costco) which is a combination of acetaminophen & methocarbanol. It worked great and I continue to use it rarely if I need pain meds.

So that is over the counter at Costco? Interesting! Glad it helps you and I may try it. Thank you.

Hmmm…not sure where you were able to purchase the Kirkland muscle pain and back pain medication, but methocarbamol is a prescription muscle relaxant and the medication is not available OTC at Cosco online or in a USA Cosco store.

Had right TKR in Feb of 2023, all I used was Tylenol.
Had no issues with pain at all.
Hope the left knee is that good when done in Late Oct or November.
