Hi @claremansell...I had a knee replacement in 2013. Unfortunately a similar incident happened to me. I was advised by my GP to start taking Naproxen...a strong anti inflammatory in 250mg tablet form along with my prescribed Co-codamol as a painkiller. They have definitely helped. I'm not sure if they can be combined with Tramodol but it's worth finding out.
